Course: Rewire Your Inner Critic
What if Your Inner Critic Could Guide You Instead of Hold You Back?
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sitting with hundreds of people in workshops, coaching circles, and counseling sessions. No matter where they were coming from—whether they were students, professionals, or leaders at the top of their game—one theme kept showing up: the relentless inner critic.
That voice that whispers (or sometimes shouts):
“You’re not good enough.”
“You should be further along.”
“What if you fail?”
I’ve come to see this inner critic not as a flaw, but as a deeply human survival strategy. It’s the part of us that tries to keep us safe from rejection or failure—but often at the expense of our growth, confidence, and peace of mind.
The good news? We can rewire it.
That’s what inspired me to create Rewire the Inner Critic: Transform Self-Doubt into Self-Leadership—a virtual course that distills the most powerful skills and practices I’ve taught over the years. These are tools I believe everyone should have in their back pocket.
The course is designed to help you:
- Recognize how your inner critic shows up in your life.
- Understand the science of why it has such a hold on us.
- Practice simple, evidence-based strategies that literally rewire your brain for greater resilience, compassion, and confidence.
This isn’t about silencing the critic or “fixing” yourself. It’s about transforming your relationship with that voice so you can step into self-leadership with more ease and clarity.
Can you commit just 3 weeks to addressing your inner critic and finding lasting change?
