[coaching] How can I get rid of my inner critic? (and why you should not)

Do you have an inner critic? Your answer is most likely yes! I
can also assume you've been wanting to get rid of it many times
before. In today's episode, I'm inviting you to better understand
this protective part of you and learn how to befriend it (instead
of destroying it).


This is an invitation to befriend this part of you:
Observe— Get some perspective and distance from this part of
you. See how you can observe them, without judging it. Be curious
about where you can feel them in your body or what they may look
like.  Befriend— Open a dialogue with this part of you.
Welcome their presence with compassion, and listen to what they
have to share. Get curious about their fears, and the ways they
decided to protect you from them. Collaborate— See if you can start
to write a new job description for them. Can they become your inner
coach instead? Can they protect your growth instead of sheltering
you from perceived danger? 

I would love for you to keep 3 important things in mind when you
feel the inner critic popping up:
There’s no need to judge or fight this part of you. It’s there
for a reason. You have the power to slowly shift the way it’s
protecting you. Get curious about this question: Am I moving away
from what I don’t want, or towards what I want?




About me


Hello, I'm Pascale! I coach artists, makers and creatives of all
kinds because I believe in the cathartic power of art, and the
important role you're here to play. Through coaching, we
co-create a sacred space to gently untangle the knots on your
rebellious path, support your wellbeing and elevate your soulful
work. My clients come to me with a heart full of creative
ideas... and a mind tangled in self-doubt. My role is to help
them find their way back to self-trust so they can fully step
into the next level of their creative vision, business and self.
Together, we work on softening the inner wars they host, building
emotional resilience and stepping away from the cycle of
self-betrayal. Curious about working together? You're welcome to
book a complimentary call so we can meet and explore coaching
support options.
