How your mind is like a hangry three-nager

Send us Fan MailInside your mind live many voices.The inner critic.The drill sergeant.The part that says you should be further along by now.The part that gets loud, impatient, or harsh when you’re struggling. The part that says no one loves you. The part that says you are an inconvenience or burden...And so often, we’ve been taught that healing means silencing those voices…fighting them…shaming them into going away.But what if that’s why they keep getting louder?In this episode, we explore a gentler, more sustainable approach to healing. One rooted in compassion, curiosity, and relationship with your own mind. Because the harder we fight unwanted thoughts and emotions, the more power they seem to have. And real healing doesn’t come from force, it comes from understanding.Together, we’ll talk about:Why fighting your thoughts often backfiresHow “inner rebels” and “inner critics” are usually protectors, not enemiesThe difference between setting boundaries with your mind and rejecting yourselfHow to acknowledge difficult thoughts without letting them run the showWhy curiosity heals more than judgment ever couldUsing simple, relatable imagery (including toddlers, snacks, and inner negotiations), this episode offers a compassionate framework for meeting the parts of your mind that feel loud, uncomfortable, or hard to love—and guiding them with steadiness instead of shame.Healing isn’t about becoming flawless.It’s about becoming whole.You are not broken.You are learning how to listen to yourself in a new way.And that is real healing.I would love to hear how your inner mean girl is showing up and what tools are working for you!Let's connect! you can find me on Instagram or FacebookFor more information on The Rewrite Collective membership click hereLove, Rach
