Understanding the Voice That's Hard on You

That voice in your head that tells you you're not good enough, you should be further along, or you need to try harder didn't come from nowhere. In this episode, I break down how the inner critic develops, why being hard on yourself can actually feel productive, and what that voice may be trying to protect you from. I talk about the difference between accountability and self-criticism, and how repeated thoughts can eventually become beliefs about who you are. I also share how I've learned to slow that voice down, question what it's telling me, and lead myself from self-respect instead of shame. And I share how my faith completely changed the authority I give my own thoughts and gave me a different foundation for understanding who I am. **Kate Hastings**  - **Website:** herformation.com - **Email:** [Kate@herformation.com](mailto:Kate@herformation.com) - **Instagram:** @coachkate1   **Mission Med+ | Dr. Kristin Oakes** - **Website:** www.missionmedplus.com - **Text 24/7 or Call:** 786-692-9775 - **Email:** [koakes@missionmedus.com](mailto:koakes@missionmedus.com) - **Discount:** **"Coach Kate"** for 10% off all services
