Negative Self Talk and Inner Critic

No one is perfect, everyone has slipups while learning. But when mistakes feel like failures and the word “no” sounds like “never” … that’s a sign that our inner critic has taken the wheel. In this two-part series, we discuss the origins of the inner critic and strategies to counteract the critic so that we feel empowered to take healthy risks to reach our potential.
