Episode 2: Noticing Your Inner Critic Without Letting It Run the Show

Ever notice that voice in your head telling you you should do more, do it better, or that you’re not enough? If you’re a woman who’s used to doing it all, that voice has probably been with you a long time—and in midlife, it can feel louder than ever.In this episode of Still Becoming, I talk about the inner critic—the part of you that’s been keeping you safe, getting things done, and holding it all together—and the adult self: the calm, curious, grounded part that can step in, slow things down, and responds instead of reacts.This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about noticing what’s happening inside, recognizing the voices, and giving the adult self a little more time in the driver’s seat. By the end, my hope is you’ll feel a bit more seen, a bit less judged, and a bit freer to make choices from a place of clarity instead of pressure.
