Do you ever hear a voice in your head that sounds convincing—but leaves you feeling stuck, small, or second-guessing yourself? In this episode, we’re breaking down the powerful difference between your inner critic and your inner wisdom, and why knowing which one you’re listening to changes everything.

As we move into Phase Two: Tuning Into Your Inner Voice, I’m sharing a personal story about learning to recognize fear disguised as “being realistic” and how reconnecting with inner wisdom creates clarity, confidence, and forward momentum.

You’ll learn how to tell when your thoughts are coming from fear versus alignment, why your inner wisdom often speaks quietly, and simple tools you can use this week to start trusting yourself again—without blowing up your life or having everything figured out.

This episode is for you if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or standing at the edge of something new and want to move forward with more self-trust and less self-doubt.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The key differences between the inner critic and inner wisdom
• Why your inner critic feels urgent, loud, and convincing
• How inner wisdom actually sounds and feels in daily life
• A relatable story about mistaking fear for “being responsible”
• Why Phase Two is all about reconnection and self-trust
• Simple questions to help you identify which voice you’re listening to
• How to move forward without guilt, pressure, or having all the answers

Key Takeaways

• Your inner critic is loud because it’s afraid
• Your inner wisdom is quiet because it trusts you
• Wisdom never shames you—it guides you
• You don’t need to silence fear, just stop letting it lead
• Small, aligned steps matter more than big, forced changes

Try This After Listening

The next time a thought pops up, ask yourself:

1. Does this feel urgent or grounded?
2. Do I feel expanded or contracted?
3. Would I say this to a friend I love?

Let your answers guide you back to your inner wisdom.
