7: Your Inner Critic Is Lying: Rewire Your Self-Talk to Build Real Confidence

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Grounded Confidence podcast, Coco Duan explores the transformative impact of solitude, stillness, and silence on your inner dialogue. She explains that when you connect with yourself in these quiet moments, you become aware of your thought patterns, a crucial step toward personal growth. Most of our 60,000 daily thoughts are repetitive and negative, undermining confidence. Coco shares her personal battle with self-criticism, from harsh inner judgments to moments of self-doubt, and how she overcame them by practicing self-compassion. Drawing from Dr. Kristen Neff’s teachings, Coco introduces the three pillars of self-compassion—mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness—that helped her shift from being a "shaky mess" to an "unshakable force of nature." Tune in to learn how to quiet your inner critic, transform your mindset, and build your grounded confidence.Want to go from Good Girl to Badass Leader—calm, clear, and deeply self-trusting?I offer a free 60-minute consultation to help you get clear on where you are, where you want to go, and what’s holding you back.From there, we’ll explore what working together could look like.Book your call: https://calendly.com/cocoduancoaching/1-hr-consultation
