Have you ever started a new creative venture and just relentlessly beat yourself up every single time you made a mistake? Did it help? I can speak from experience in saying it has never helped me. And in fact, I think it's often held me back. So today we're going to explore with you an alternative to self-criticism when we're releasing a new creative project out into the world. Welcome to the Unleash Your Inner Creative Minisodes! My name is Lauren LoGrasso, I am a Webby award-winning podcast host and creative coach. Every other week for the rest of summer, I will be coming on the pod to give you bite-sized Unleash episodes. Each show will contain actionable advice about creativity, working toward your dreams and self-development. They are full of tools you can implement in your life immediately.

Today’s topic is: How to Move from “I Suck” to “I’m excited to Improve!" -a journey to finding self-compassion and self-growth instead of self-criticism.

From today's chat, you'll learn:

-How to recognize that you are stuck in a self-critical voice

-A visualization for how learn what your inner-critic wants for/from you

-How to focus on and work toward what you want to improve, and

-The importance of self-forgiveness
