How does our personality sabotage our life?

Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast

In this episode of the DYIC podcast, Joanna dives into our fundamental human longing for validation and acceptance. She delves into how early moments of shame and feeling disconnected can shape our Inner Child personality—a survival tactic geared towards sidestepping pain and chasing approval. This Inner Child persona influences how we behave and relate to others, often pushing us to overcompensate or seek validation from outside sources. Joanna stresses the need to break free from this Inner Critic identity to rediscover our true selves. This journey entails acknowledging and navigating the anxieties and behaviors driven by our Inner Critic, fostering healthier connections, and embracing a more mindful way of living. Join Joanna on this journey of self-discovery and transformation to create a more conscious and fulfilling life. Reflection Questions:
