189. Quieting Your Inner Critic By Becoming Your Own Ally with Cynthia Phelps

Most of us have an inner voice who’s pretty critical and can be loud at times (sometimes what feels like all the time).

Having that voice is normal and a byproduct of our brain always being on the lookout for threats to our safety.

While we can’t fully eliminate it, today’s guest, Cynthia Phelps, is teaching us how we can work on developing an Inner Ally who helps balance out our self-talk and supports us when we need it most.
