Episode Details

Note to self: your brain can make an incredible argument... and still be completely wrong.

If you're analytical, ambitious, self-aware, and constantly trying to grow, your inner critic probably doesn't sound irrational. It sounds thoughtful. It cites evidence. It notices patterns. It builds compelling arguments for why you're behind, not good enough, or should play it safe.

And that's EXACTLY what makes it so dangerous.

It's just us this week & we're talking about why smart women often have really smart inner critics, how our intelligence gets weaponized against us, and the life-changing realization that intelligence and truth are not the same thing.

We also get into:
• why your inner critic sounds so convincing
• the difference between facts and interpretations
• how fear recruits your intelligence to keep you safe
• why anxiety loves finding "evidence"
• the questions I ask myself when my inner critic takes over
• how to stop mistaking eloquence for truth

As always, I hope there was something in here you needed. Take whatever resonates & leave the rest.

LOVE YOU. x
