Today is a re-release of one of our most impactful episodes of The Communicate Great Podcast. We’re bringing this conversation back because the message is timeless and continues to resonate deeply with listeners.

In this episode, host Traci Poe sits down with Barb Pastuszko to explore a powerful and personal topic: do you listen to your inner critic—or your personal power?

Barb shares insight into how our inner dialogue shapes the way we communicate, make decisions, and show up in our relationships and work. Together, they unpack how self-awareness, mindset, and intentional communication can help shift us out of self-doubt and into confidence, clarity, and authenticity.

This conversation serves as an important reminder that effective communication doesn’t just happen outwardly — it begins within. By learning to recognize and challenge the voices that hold us back, we can communicate with greater purpose and impact.

Whether you’re navigating self-doubt, seeking stronger self-trust, or wanting to communicate from a place of confidence and alignment, this episode offers meaningful insight and encouragement — which is exactly why we felt it deserved to be shared again.
