Conversations from the Heart #91 - My Inner Critic Got Loud, and Then I Found My Voice
Ever spiraled into shame because of one tiny mistake? Or replayed a text convo with a ghoster, trying to decode what you did wrong? You’re not alone, and you’re not broken.
In this vulnerable and uplifting episode, Tiffany and Patrice bring raw questions to the table, and I offer some insights into how we talk to ourselves when we feel abandoned, rejected, or ashamed.
This one’s for every tender-hearted human who’s been too hard on themselves - and who’s ready for something softer, wiser, and more freeing.
We discuss:
- 1:10 Opening thoughts
- 2:33 How a wrong phone number on a business card led to a spiral of shame - and the exact steps to stop that spiral mid-spin.
- 11:34 Two strategies in the moment of stress: pause, and name what's happening
- 12:05 Why reclaiming the word “stupid” could be the most liberating thing you do all week.
- 19:52 What ghosting actually tells you about someone - and how it might be the kindest exit you didn’t ask for.
- 25:47 A note on goodness of fit and how it can enable choicefulness
- 33:19 Comments from the audience
- 45:30 Closing thoughts
