You're listening to the Confidence Podcast, your one-stop shop for motivation,

inspiration, and confidence to help you boldly and bravely take action on your dreams.

I'm your host Trish Blackwell and I teach entrepreneurs and dream chasers to take action on the dream got put on their hearts.

I empower go-getters to get past their stubborn insecurity so they can crush their goals, outgrow their fears, and create

prosperity in their businesses and lives. It's time to rise and shine. Let's dive

deep. Hey, it's Trish, you're a host of the confidence podcast, and man, welcome to a new episode.

This is episode 366 of the show we are talking today about something that's really near and dear to my heart, which is self-criticism.

I have lived under the weight of a critical voice for so many years of my life for too long,

for decades, and it's still something I have to make a daily decision of

where I want that voice to go the volume at which I'm going to allow that voice to play

and narrate my life but I hope that in today's coaching you're going to walk away with a sense of hope and freedom about how your confidence is affected by the criticism, whether it's coming externally or you've taken external voices of criticism and internalized them into this really self suffocating,

self-defeating, self-pressure that ends up either stagnating you, making you procrastinate, or get stuck in the cycle of perfectionistic

thinking, which as we know if you've listened to any of the past few episodes is toxic and the best way to sabotage your ability to have

confidence and courage and step into your calling. So without further ado I

just oh man we're gonna talk today about how to stop being so self-critical because being

self-critical can hold you back from having authentic and life-giving self-confidence.

I want to reiterate the self-confidence that we are growing here in this

confidence community is not just for you to feel good. I'm not interested and you

just having great life. I'm interested in your life making a difference in you having impact and you stepping

into your calling and you making the world better because you were here but we can't do that

until we have the confidence and then therefore the courage that partners with it to go. that

partners with it to go and step out and do bold things.
