34: Quieting Your Inner Critic & Journeying Home to Self with Deepshikha Sairam

“Journeying home to self isn't about getting there. It’s about coming to a place in your life of unbecoming, shedding the layers, releasing self-doubt, owning your worth, and trusting your intuition. “ Today's world is often inundated with messages telling us how we should look, act, and think. It can hurt our self-esteem and feed our inner critic negatively. The inner critic is the voice inside our heads that tells us we are not good enough, failing, or not worthy of love and respect. It can be challenging to overcome it, but it is essential if we want to know our purpose. Cultivating self-compassion and acceptance is essential in quieting your inner critic and navigating balance in life. We all make mistakes, and we all have flaws. So instead of beating yourself up, show yourself some kindness and empathy. This can help you build a stronger sense of self-worth and lead to a more fulfilling life.Let's begin our journey to self together by learning how to quiet our inner critic with Deepshikha Sairam in this episode. She is a keynote speaker on Inner Critic and metaphysical teachings. She helps high-achieving women get beyond their inner critic to unlock their limitless potential for more creativity and meaning. Exceptional HighlightLife isn't about suffering. It's all about living. Why would we suffer if there was so much beauty around us? We need to let go of shame, guilt, and unworthiness. And that takes peeling off the layers and unmasking to really get to the core of who we really are.Sometimes, you need to let go that you cannot find balance in life without being overwhelmed. Finding balance is not about not being overwhelmed. It's about finding moments of calm and peace and doing your thing again.The feeling of overwhelm becomes like a huge mountain when we resist it. But when you acknowledge it and allow it to be there, you validate your feelings and permit yourself to let go of the burden; sooner or later, that feeling vanquishes or reverses. Episode Highlights3:21 - Deepshikha’s favorite grounding activities7:18 - Quieting the Inner Critic and the Journey to Self-Worth11:36 - How burnout can show up in our lives15:59 - Significance of nurturing all aspects of wellness18:54 - Deepshikha’s lowest point in life20:37 - Why Advocating for our own Wellness is Helpful22:15 - Importance of Trusting Our Inner Wisdom 23:25 - Finding Moments of Calm and Peace 26:25 - Reversing or Eliminating OverwhelmSupport the showIMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Discover Where You Are Getting Stuck In Your Business, By Taking My Free 3-minute quiz: https://confusionloop.com/ Women Entrepreneurs, schedule your free Clarity Call here Learn more about Move And Still's service offerings: https://movexstill.com/ CONNECT WITH DOM: Learn about Transformation YOUniversity, my 12-week biz coaching program for women entrepreneurs at https://domrclifton.com/coaching-for-women/ IG - @DominieceRClifton LI- Dominiece R.
