from Authenticity Lab · host Dr. Kelsey Miles

Is it normal to talk to yourself?If you’ve ever wondered whether your inner voice means something is wrong with you, this episode is for you.Talking to yourself is not instability. It’s a regulatory tool your brain uses to create certainty and predict outcomes. The real question isn’t whether it’s normal — it’s what that voice is saying and how you relate to it.In this episode, Dr. Kelsey Miles explores:• Why we have inner dialogue• The difference between narrator, coach, and inner critic• How judgment becomes identity• Why harsh self-talk is often a learned coping pattern• A simple experiment to help you build a healthier inner voiceIf you’ve ever felt attacked by your own thoughts, you are not broken. You’re human.And just to say — I’m not a therapist. I’m sharing what’s worked for me and how I think about it. If your inner voice feels overwhelming or scary, it’s always a good idea to talk to a trained professional.Want the free Life Experiments mini-course?Email “COURSE” [email protected] I’ll send it to you.You build self-trust one small experiment at a time.📓 Want to reclaim your voice?My guided journal + album “I Am” helped me and others build self-trust.Get your copy here: www.kelseymiles.com/100days✨ Support the work on Patreon: www.patreon.com/kelseymilesConnect with me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkelseymilesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamkelseymilesWebsite: https://kelseymiles.com
