Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen Episode 641: Your Inner Critic, Self-Compassion, and Self-Trust with Joanna Kleinman
Are the conversations you have with yourself empowering or defeating? We’re diving back into one of my favorite topics - the inner critic - with guest Joanna Kleinman. Joanna is a psychotherapist, leadership coach, and best-selling author who has dedicated her career to helping people unhook from the negative self-talk holding them back. Through her M.I.N.D Method™, she offers a clear path to recognize, dethrone, and ultimately transform your inner critic’s influence.
Together, we explore how self-compassion, personal growth, and trusting your inner wisdom can help you break free from the mental loops that keep you stuck.
You’ll hear:
- Why you can never really break free from your inner critic, you can recognize it and dethrone it (5:05)
- Some of the biggest misconceptions people have about what it takes to cultivate true self-compassion (14:14)
- The idea that “our pain is our greatest teacher” and what it means for your growth (14:46)
- Practical ways to unhook from your inner critic with the M.I.N.D Method™ (17:32)
- What happens when you learn to trust your inner wisdom and embrace the natural flow of life (29:37)
