"We're all born creative. What happens to us? Oh, we get shamed by other people because they're not in touch with their own creativity," he says. "They think they're helping you by being super, uber critical." He adds that the inner critic gets created as a young person and is internalized until adulthood. 'You spend 15 years of my life telling me to think in the box'

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.
