Anxiety, Self-Talk, and Success: Is Your Inner Voice Sabotaging You or Supporting You?

Have you ever spiraled into a pit of “what ifs” and self-doubt that made you feel like the worst CEO ever?

Same, friend. 🙋🏻‍♀️

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to stop the inner spiral and reframe your self-talk to actually work for you. Inspired by the books The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer and Chatter by Dr. Ethan Kross, I’m sharing how I’ve applied their insights as an entrepreneur.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why rumination keeps entrepreneurs stuck

✨ How my inner critic disguised itself as “motivation”

✨ The 4 ways your inner voice can actually help you

✨ How to rewire your mindset for clarity and confidence

It’s part pep talk, part psychology, and all strategy to help you lead with peace, power, and purpose.

Let’s reframe the voice in your head—because it’s time to turn your critic into a coach. 🎧
