I had to accept that I had something positive to do with it.” “There are no superwomen. There are no superhumans. We’re all struggling to find our way.”

On the first episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, we’re talking to Joanna’s mother Judy Fox. She has 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist in private practice. She has a dual Master’s Degree in Therapeutic Education and School Psychology, as well as being a certified Hypnotherapist. In this episode, we’re chatting about: How the Inner Critic can show up no matter how successful you are or how much inner work we do. The distinction between our worry and the voice of our Inner Critic How Judy can tell that her Inner Critic is on her throne (and how she is able to dethrone her). How to get familiar with the Inner Critic’s repetitive patterns How our struggles become our greatest lessons Our language creates our reality The role Judy’s Inner Critic plays in her parenting Key Takeaways: “When it’s my Inner Critic, it’s far more focused on me than it is about what’s going to happen and when.” “When I recognize that she’s chattering away, I will literally use my breath to breathe in my sense of myself and breathe out the tension. And I will say, “No, I’m not listening to you. I know that’s not who I am and I’m not listening to you right now.”
