Ep 163: How to finally silence your inner critic

True story:My guest today, Tosca DiMatteo, was born with a cleft lip and palate.As a kid, she dealt with painful surgeries and years of speech therapy.But the hardest part wasn’t the physical pain...It was the emotional sting of watching other kids walk away from her once they saw her face.She felt different.She felt “less than”.So she made a subconscious decision...If she couldn’t be the “pretty” one, she was going to be the “smart” one.She spent years over-giving, over-performing, and accepting breadcrumbs in relationships just to prove her worth.Moral of the story is:You don’t need a physical scar to feel this way.Most of us have what I call an “Itty Bitty Shitty Committee” living in our heads.It’s a drill sergeant constantly telling us we aren’t enough... and that we have to hustle just to be accepted.That’s why I’m so excited about this week’s episode.On the latest episode of Flip Your Mindset, Tosca and I go deep on how to finally transform your relationship with that inner critic.We break down the “three trip wires” that hook people up:* Not feeling enough* Believing being different is bad* And believing success isn’t available to youPlus, we talk about how to stop abandoning yourself to please others...And how to retrain your brain to feel safe being your authentic self.If you’re ready to kick that committee out of your head and reclaim your confidence...Then tap the link below to listen to the full conversation now:See you there,Stacey Urig This is a public episode.
