Dealing with your Inner Critic (part 2/2)

from The Motherhood Clinic · host The Motherhood Clinic

In this second conversation with Kathryn Lovewell, we get practical. Having explored the inner critic in our first episode, we turn to what it actually looks like to respond to yourself with kindness - not as a concept, but as a daily practice. We explore why self-compassion isn't self-indulgence but a genuine shift in how your mind and body function, why isolation quietly amplifies the critical voice, and how the pressure to look like you're coping - from social media, from visitors, from the health visitor's form - makes it harder to ask for the help you actually need. Kathryn also walks us through the Three-Step Booster Break: a simple, repeatable practice you can do in seconds, wherever you are.
