131. How to Quiet Your Inner Critic

from Leadership Parenting- Resilient Moms Raise Resilient Kids · host Leigh Germann

Send us Fan MailWhen your inner critic gets loud, it doesn’t feel like a thought—it feels like reality.It feels urgent, convincing, and personal.In this episode of the Leadership Parenting Podcast, I’m breaking down why the inner critic gets so intense under pressure—and why trying to “argue with it” often makes things worse.You’ll learn how nervous system activation gives the critic a microphone, why volume is not the same as truth, and how to use my RESET framework to come back to yourself with steadiness and leadership.This isn’t about silencing your thoughts or forcing positivity.It’s about learning how to recognize self-attack, reconnect with what you care about underneath it, and respond from your calm, grounded, adult self—even when things feel hard.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com
