54. Melissa Ambrosini Revisited: Self-Reverence

Sometimes to silence that inner critic in our heads, we have to have a strong sense of who we are. Because after all, are you really going to listen to yourself if you don’t trust your gut? Self-reverence is sometimes a lifelong pursuit. But it’s not one we should give up on so easily. This is The Psychology of Entrepreneurship, A highly produced, revealing audio docuseries that follows me, Ronsley Vaz, and my guests, as we strive to go inside & unravel the inner workings of the mind of an entrepreneur, artist, athlete, academic; to decipher what is the psychology of our decisions. If you are an entrepreneur (BTW we consider that mothers are the original entrepreneurs) and would like to understand why we do certain things in certain situations, and if small changes in thinking can deliver massive amounts of results in success and happiness, then this podcast is for you. Melissa Ambrosini is used to telling her inner voice to shut up. In fact, she thinks we all need to learn to be just as firm with our inner critics. But to do that, self-reverence must be cultivated. And she, of all people, knows how hard that can be. Melissa was at her rock bottom. She was in and out of the hospital for strange medical issues and suffered from chronic fatigue. At the time of all this chaos, she was living on a pull-away cot at a friend’s house. She felt low and worthless and didn’t know how to feel otherwise. It didn’t help that her inner mean girl was constantly telling her it was too hard to make any changes. Fast forward to today, where Melissa is now a sought-after speaker, teacher, life coach, best-selling author and host of the top-rated podcast The Melissa Ambrosini Show. Her incredibly insightful TEDx Talk covers the system she uses to silence her inner critic. Her first book, Mastering Your Mean Girl, is focused on this as well and has raving reviews on Amazon. In this volume, Kaili helps me retell Melissa’s story. We go back to a few other past volumes to examine the idea of self-reverence and why we all need to build that trait within ourselves. And we discuss the hurdles this causes within ourselves, and why it’s human nature to think the worst of ourselves. We get into the power of discipline focused practices like yoga and meditation and how everyone’s journey to changing their inner voice looks different. This is an interesting volume you won’t want to miss.
