Description

Why is it so easy to beat ourselves up, and what happens when we finally decide to become our own best friend instead of our own worst critic?

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down:

  • The sneaky ways negative self-talk shows up in our lives—internally and externally.

  • The Negativity Bias and why you're brain is wired to self-criticise..

  • What it really looks like to treat yourself like a best friend—someone who always has your back, uplifts you, and calls you higher.

  • Practical tools for shifting the way you talk to yourself
