How to Talk to Yourself, with Dr. Anna Marie Frank

How to Talk to Yourself with Dr. Anna Marie Frank In this episode, Mathew Blades sits down with Dr. Anna Marie Frank, author, speaker, and founder of Happy Whole You, to explore the art and science of self-talk. Drawing from her book, Stop Bullying Yourself, Dr. Frank unpacks why negative self-talk develops, the powerful impact of our upbringing and environment, and how our internal dialogue can shape everything from physical health to emotional wellbeing. You’ll discover practical frameworks, including the VA’s “catch it, check it, change it” and hear real-life strategies for identifying toxic narratives, rewiring thought patterns, and embracing mindful, honest communication. Dr. Frank shares personal stories of transformation and the importance of surrounding yourself with empowering influences. The conversation emphasizes agency, playfulness in challenging old beliefs, and the profound effect of words—ultimately offering listeners tools to step into their extraordinary selves. “You can change your biochemistry…by shifting a thought alone.” – Dr. Anna Marie Frank   To get in touch with our podcast, email [email protected]   Visit our Guests: Mathew Blades - MathewBlades.com Dr. Anna Marie Frank - https://drannamarie.com Cortney McDermott - https://www.cortneymcdermott.com Dr. Dave - https://www.drdaveaz.com/ Jill McMahon - Jillmcmahoncounseling.com If you want to use Streamyard to create a podcast like this, use this link: https://streamyard.com/pal/c/4656111098003456
