What if Your Inner Critic Isn't the Enemy?
​
Your inner critic isn't your enemy. It's a part of you that developed to keep you safe and successful. But when that voice becomes louder than your wisdom, it's time for a different approach.
​
The problem with most advice? It tells you to "silence" or "overcome" your inner critic. But trying to eliminate a part of yourself that's been working overtime to protect you rarely works—and often backfires.
​
What works instead? Getting curious about this part of you. Understanding what it's trying to protect. Learning to work with it rather than against it.

Meet Your Inner Critic Worksheet
​​In case you are wondering, this isn't another "fix yourself" checklist. It's an invitation to explore your inner world with curiosity instead of criticism.
​
Many high-achieving women reach a point where old coping strategies—working harder, staying busy, pushing through—start losing their power. Despite impressive accomplishments, you might feel tired, restless, or unsure what's really yours anymore.
​
One way to understand all this is to turn inwards, and slow down just enough to listen and learn about what is happening in your inner world.
​
To assist you with this exploration, I've created this workbook as a guide. It will help you:
-
Identify your specific inner critic patterns (beyond the generic advice)
-
Understand what this part of you is trying to protect
-
Begin to separate your inner critic's voice from your authentic Self
-
Start working WITH this part instead of fighting against it
​​
You don't need to fix anything right now. You just need to notice—with kindness.
​
This gentle exploration is the first step toward transforming your inner critic from tyrant to trusted advisor.
