Summary

This episode is for anyone who struggles with outside influences they can't shake. I thought when I turned 40 that I had turned a corner in my personal developement, that the shift into caring less about other people's opinions would also mean that my inner critic would pipe down. But here I am, a few years down the road, and the voices from my past live rent-free in my head and their chatter can affect my confidence and my choices. In this episode, I'm talking about the five types of voices that rattle around in our heads and how we can identify them and turn down their volume.

0:08.6	I'm Laura Tremaine and I have 10 things to tell you. And you have 10 things to tell.
0:15.0	This show is about connection,
0:18.0	with each other and with ourselves.
0:20.0	And the hope is that the things we talk about here

0:26.4	Each episode has a prompt or a topic that I want you to take to your journal, text to a friend,
0:32.0	or share on social media using the hashtag 10
0:34.9	Things to Tell You. This is a show about digging deeper and sharing our stuff.
0:40.0	I'll go first. It's been a while since we've had a single prompt episode, just one idea to meditate on throughout the week.
0:51.0	But this concept that we're going to talk about today about the voices that live

1:07.3	affect our choices, our words, and our lives. I think a lot of us relate to this concept on some level. All of us have
1:16.4	been influenced by the praise or the critical words that are aimed our way by a
1:22.0	parent, a teacher, a friend, a lover, even a stranger.
1:27.0	There are things that really get in our heads that can be really hard to get out.
1:32.0	But I honestly thought that as I got older, that can be really hard to get out.
1:33.4	But I honestly thought that as I got older,

1:38.8	I thought that when I turned 40,
1:40.9	that I was really rounding a corner in terms of caring less about what people thought of me
1:46.7	and my choices, and that I was shedding some of those old words and those old hurts that would rear their ugly heads and make me second-guess myself.
