She said What?!?!

I couldn’t believe the horrible things she said to me.

How dare she say those horrible, mean, demeaning, nasty things to me?

What did I ever do to her to deserve such horrible treatment?

Let me know what you think about what she said to me:

• You’re not smart enough to succeed

• You’ll never do it on your own

• You don’t know what you’re doing

• Other people think you’re really dumb

• Why on earth are they going to listen to anything you have to say?

• You’re so not worthy of success or abundance or anything really

That’s just a small sample of the hateful comments she made!

They were coming at me so fast that I just walked away.

I used to believe all the nasty and vicious taunts.

She had to be right, didn’t she?

After all, she knows me best.

She’s been living in my head for my whole life.

You guessed it, that’s how my inner critic used to speak to me.

She was really mean and she stopped me from doing so many things in life and in business.

I spent years sitting on the couch eating down my feelings, stuffing down the shame and all the feelings of lack with chocolate, chips and cheese.

It’s her voice that stopped me from telling anyone that I was a certified coach.

In fact, I had two coaching certifications for years before I had my first coaching client.

Thinking back, I spent four long years not telling anyone that I was a certified coach.

I didn’t have any clients.

I didn’t tell anyone I could coach them to success.

I just stayed invisible and kept eating to drown out her voice.

Today, I’ve stopped listening to her insidious and demeaning voice.

Today, she no longer has power over me.

Some days, she likes to poke her her nose where it’s no longer welcome and try to say mean things, but I no longer believe what she says.

Now, I let her know that I’m safe and protected and that I can do what I want.

I stand up for myself, I show up and I speak up.

Today, I’m happily coaching clients to their success and eating much less chocolate and chips.

I will always enjoy some good cheese. That I choose to keep.

So stop listening to that nasty inner voice in your head.

She’s just trying to keep you safe and in your comfort zone.

Let her know that you’re in a good place and that you would prefer that she remind you of all your successes and that if she does that, you’ll pay more attention to her.

She’ll change her tune. I know my inner voice certainly has.

If something in this spoke to you, trust that nudge.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be “ready.” You just need a little space to be heard and to reconnect with your own clarity.

I offer Clarity Sessions as a calm, supportive place to untangle the noise, soften the inner critic, and come back to yourself. They’re thoughtful, spacious, and designed to meet you exactly where you are.

If it feels aligned, I’d love to connect.

You can book a Clarity Session with me when you’re ready.

No pressure. Just an open door.
