In Your Skin Peter Crone: “Stop Trying to Prove Yourself - That’s True Freedom”
In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Peter Crone often called “the Mind Architect” to explore how our deepest insecurities and stories quietly shape everything: confidence, ageing, relationships, parenting, and even our sense of purpose. Peter unpacks the “primal prisons” formed in childhood, why imposter syndrome is a survival pattern (not your personality), and how chasing youth ironically speeds up ageing. Instead of piling on more hacks and “solutions,” he shows us a path of dissolution removing the subconscious lies so freedom, self-love and vitality can emerge on their own. You’ll hear practical ways to work with triggers, invite a reluctant partner into the work, and model healthy self-worth for your kids Aussie frankness, heart, and plenty of aha moments included.
If you’ve ever felt “not enough,” judged your reflection, or wondered why the same patterns keep looping, this conversation will help you soften, let go, and feel at home in your own skin.
