I like to say that my business sits at the intersection of brain science and your career aspirations. Because our brain is what gets in the way of what we really want. It’s usually less about the things that happen to us or our lack of opportunity or the mistakes we make or the skills we have or don’t have and more about what we make those things mean or what we believe it possible for ourselves. 

And one of the most important aspects of this is developing an awareness and self-command over what, for many of us, is an overactive inner critic. That negative internal talk track that for many of us runs on overdrive. 

It’s important to gain awareness over it, understand where it’s coming from and learn how to soothe it, so it doesn’t hold you back from the things you want the most.

This is one of the very first episodes of the podcast from back in February 2021, which was Super Bowl Sunday in the United States, where my team – the KC Chiefs were defending their Super Bowl title from 2020. They lost. And it was far from their best showing. But the lessons from the episode endure. 

So I hope you enjoy listening or re-listening, to Soothing Your Inner Critic.
