Description
The Podcast for Smart Women who doubt themselves, overthink and tend to hide in the background!
You can be the smartest woman in the room and still have the worst inner critic, causing you to doubt and second guess yourself, overthink endlessly, procrastinate, perfectionate, replay conversations in your head and hold yourself back - even when you know what you want to say and do. You miss out on opportunities in life, you don’t feel fulfilled and you think everyone else is more successful and happy than you.
In this podcast certified Lifecoach, L֥ærke Nielsen, teaches you how to start trusting your inner authority, develop strong self-belief, feel great about yourself and build the courage to speak up and move forward without second guessing yourself.
You will learn how to stop the overthinking and get out of your head, how to shift the tone of your self-talk from inner critic to inner coach, how to stop playing small and avoiding risks and how to not let fear of other people’s opinions stop you from taking actions.
This is not just a cosy self help podcast – this is an identity rewire – you are becoming a woman who fully believes in herself and who knows she is capable of creating an extraordinary life!
