  • In today’s episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, we delve into the often overlooked yet most critical relationship— the one with ourselves. We explore why humans, driven by psychological and biological wiring, tend to seek validation and emotional security from external sources, leading to an endless pursuit of unattainable ideals perpetuated by society and social media. This discussion also highlights the importance of redefining success, not by societal standards, but through aligning with our inner purpose and embracing vulnerability as a pathway to genuine joy and fulfillment. By cultivating a relationship with ourselves through awareness and daily actions aligned with our true self, we can achieve a deep sense of peace and contentment, independent of external circumstances.
    So tune in to discover how you can forge a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with yourself and transform your life from the inside out! Your weekly reflection questions:

    How might your life change if you shifted focus from seeking external validation to cultivating your relationship with yourself, especially considering how social norms and ideals influence your self-perception?

    In what ways can recognizing and challenging your automatic thoughts, as described in the M.I.N.D Method™, help you align more closely with your authentic self and true purpose?

    Reflect on a recent experience where you felt vulnerable; how did this vulnerability influence your feelings of connection or disconnection with others, and what did it reveal about your own patterns of seeking safety or avoiding pain?

  • In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, we’re joined by the incredible Hannah Tackett, a former tech leader with 16 years of experience, who now dedicates her career to coaching women on how to combat burnout. Together, we debunk the common myth that burnout is a sudden crash when, in fact, it’s a gradual and silent buildup that occurs in stages. We discuss the warning signs many women overlook, such as ongoing fatigue, irritability, and emotional exhaustion, and emphasize the importance of recognizing these signals before it's too late. As women, we often fall into the habit of doing everything ourselves instead of delegating and empowering others, but true leadership lies in knowing when to ask for help.

    Join us for this insightful conversation on how to break free from burnout and reclaim your energy!

    Your weekly reflection questions:

    What early signs of burnout have you noticed in your life that you may have previously ignored?

    How can you begin to shift your mindset from doing it all yourself to empowering others and asking for help?

    In what areas of your life could delegating or seeking support lead to greater balance and well-being?

  • In this episode of the DYIC podcast, Joanna dives into our fundamental human longing for validation and acceptance. She delves into how early moments of shame and feeling disconnected can shape our Inner Child personality—a survival tactic geared towards sidestepping pain and chasing approval. This Inner Child persona influences how we behave and relate to others, often pushing us to overcompensate or seek validation from outside sources. Joanna stresses the need to break free from this Inner Critic identity to rediscover our true selves. This journey entails acknowledging and navigating the anxieties and behaviors driven by our Inner Critic, fostering healthier connections, and embracing a more mindful way of living.

    Join Joanna on this journey of self-discovery and transformation to create a more conscious and fulfilling life.
