What is the voice in your head really trying to tell you?

We all have thoughts running through our minds, but they aren't necessarily all coming from the same place. Sometimes it's intuition. Sometimes it's an old belief, your inner critic, or a protective part of you trying to keep you safe. And sometimes we've thought something so many times that we've stopped questioning whether it's even true. 

In this episode, we're getting curious about how to recognize the difference. I share how I experience intuition as kind, loving, compassionate, and sometimes surprising or direct, and why loving guidance doesn't always mean hearing what you want to hear. We also explore the different ways your inner critic can show up, what it may actually be trying to protect you from, and why listening to yourself doesn't mean believing every thought you have. 

We all have an inner critic, but it doesn’t sound the same for everyone. Take my free Inner Critic Quiz to discover how yours tends to show up, what it may be trying to protect you from, and how greater awareness can help you recognize when that voice is running the conversation.

We also talk about the messages we receive through our bodies, why nervousness and excitement can sometimes feel very similar, and how Pause, Notice, Reconnect, Respond can create the space to get curious before deciding what a thought or sensation means. 

Because learning to listen to yourself isn't only about listening more closely. It's also about learning who you're listening to.

Reflection Questions✨

  1.  When I notice the voice in my head, how does it usually speak to me? What's the tone? 
  2.  What might that voice be trying to protect me from? 
  3.  How do I recognize my intuition when it comes through? 

What if, instead of immediately believing or dismissing the voice in your head, you paused long enough to ask: What are you really trying to tell me?
