How to Identify Your Inner Critic, Even in Disguise
In this episode of The Life You Crave, Lia Pinelli pulls back the curtain on one of the sneakiest saboteurs in your head: your inner critic. You know the one—the voice that nitpicks your body, critiques your appearance, or whispers that aging gracefully is for “other” women. Sometimes it shows up harsh and mean, but other times it disguises itself as the oh-so-reasonable “voice of logic.” Sneaky, right?
Drawing on wisdom from Tara Mohr’s book Playing Big and her own real-life stories, Lia shows you how to spot your inner critic—even when it’s pretending to be helpful. She’ll teach you the difference between your inner critic and your inner mentor (yes, you’ve got both!) and why that distinction is the key to chasing the dreams you’ve been shelving for far too long.
If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself, talked yourself out of something exciting, or felt stuck in self-judgment, this episode will give you the clarity and tools you need to quiet the critic and turn up the volume on the life you truly crave.
