This is Hello Freedom and I'm your host Terry Cole.

For almost two decades I've been a licensed psychotherapist and transformation coach and on this show I will bring you simple strategies based on practical psychology, inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations from my time on the front lines of the

fascinating worlds of entertainment, impairment, and mental health.

Now let's get going with today's episode. Well, hello and welcome to Hello Freedom.

I am your host Terry Cole.

I'm so grateful that you are listening to this right now because today on the show I

want to talk about your inner shit-talker right or your mafia mind as I like to call it. I have a long conversation with an amazing

guest whose name is Amy E. Smith, very interesting empowerment coach who I know through mutual friends really love her work I love that she curses even more than I do so this show is definitely getting an explicit mark on iTunes.

So I hope that doesn't offend anyone.

Because in my real life, I curse like a sailor.

And on the show, I try not to have every single episode

have explicit next to it. I try, I work hard, but I knew

with Amy coming on I was like from the get-go this will definitely be explicit so it's

okay. She and I got into it and I got turned on to her work and I was really interested in what she was doing around basically easy breezy tips of getting rid of your inner critic and not saying getting rid of your inner intuition, right?

Talking about the negative, the habitual negative commentary that you may have ruling in your mind.

So right now if you think about it, what are the negative things that you tell yourself

do you use humor to put yourself down?

In your mind, do you call yourself bad names? Are you mean to yourself?

And would you ever talk to a five-year-old child that you love, love, with the same

tone that you sometimes talk to yourself with? I hope you said no to that, okay? Because if you said yes, then we have

bigger problems than your inner mean girl. So thinking about that for you, where

does that come from?
