Ep 46: Whose Voice Is That? The Thoughts Shaping Your Career

Some of the thoughts that keep you small arrived long before you had the words to question them. A label from the playground. A throwaway comment from a manager. A belief passed down from mother to daughter. They sit so quietly in your head that it's easy to assume they're yours. Picking up a thread from her conversation with Karol Barac in Episode 44, about how we absorb other people's energy without realising it, Christina asks a question that comes before "Is it true?": is this thought even mine? She explores where borrowed thoughts come from, why they live in the body as well as the mind, and why the inner voice holding you back was once trying to keep you safe. She shares why changing her thought patterns wasn't enough on its own, and how working with Karol helped her release what was stored in her body. Drawing on a client's story and her own generational belief tying worth to income, uncovered after a launch that didn't sell, she offers three simple questions to help you work out whose voice you're really hearing. The three questions: Whose voice does this sound like? When did I first hear it? How old was I, where was I, and what was happening? Who would I be without it? As you ask each one, notice where it shows up in your body. For any woman at a career crossroads who has caught herself shrinking without quite knowing why, this episode is a gentle reminder that nothing about you is broken, and that the woman underneath all that borrowed noise has been there all along.
