Denise Drexler wrote a book called Banish Your Intercritic. The inner critic is AKA the imposter syndrome that especially creative people really suffer from, says Drexler. "I think probably because we put so much into our work and then there's always that fear that we're going to be rejected or told we're no good"
Denise Jacobs teaches us how to banish our inner critic. She motivates us to realize what we’re capable of creatively. She encourages us to overcome the fear of the unknown by turning that fear into curiosity. She also guides us into how to ask for feedback in a way that’s healthy and beneficial to us.
