We’ve all experienced times in life of wrestling with our own negative thoughts. 🤼♀️
When it comes to your coaching business, there is no exception.
“I should have done that better.”
“Why wasn’t I nicer to them when dealing with that?”
“I’m not good enough to do this…Why do I even try?”
“I’ll never make enough money as a coach.”
“I’m a FRAUD.”
When you encounter these thoughts, you’re dealing with your inner critic. 🌪️
These feelings of inadequacy are a normal part of the human experience. And we can all relate.
Your inner critic is a built-in defense mechanism that is constantly trying to protect you from embarrassment and failure. But that can become a bad thing when you allow it to hold you back - when you become paralyzed by fear. 😓
So here are four steps you can take to quiet your inner critic:
1️⃣ Ask yourself, “What is it that my inner critic is trying to protect me from?”
2️⃣ Think about this: When you are the highest and most healed version of yourself - when you’re NOT afraid - what do you know to be true?
3️⃣ Identify an important factor - Whose voice is it that your inner critic is trying to represent? Is it the voice of your parents? A friend? An enemy? Or, is it your own voice?
4️⃣ Take action: What action can you take to move (far) away from these unwanted messages and towards the truth of who you are?
Next time you find yourself fighting with your inner critic, remember: it’s just an outdated coping mechanism.
Don’t let it bully you.
Instead, remind yourself of who you really are and embrace your truth. 💖

Getting ready for BOLD 2024! These women are like a tiny pinecone. They can grow up to create a forest.
Break Free to Bold is for ambitious women who are A-type personalities. They are used to being leaders and achievers but deserve a deep level of rest, attention, and activation that BOLD offers.
These women are ready to look deeper at what no longer serves them, to pull the covers on their selective vulnerability and who are ready to unbecome anything that isn’t really them.
I honor the women who are willing to do this level of work.
Let’s do this!
