How To Stop Being So Hard On Yourself

You're tired of being so hard on yourself, but how do you stop? In this episode, we’ll explore why that inner critic is so persistent, and how to shift it gently with a simple, science-backed journaling practice that takes just five minutes a day.

You say it practically every day: “I just need to stop being so hard on myself.” And while that sounds like a noble goal, it’s not exactly actionable, is it? Which means you stay stuck in the same spiral of overthinking, perfectionism, and self-criticism.

In this compassionate and practical episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what that phrase really means, and why your brain defaults to beating you up in the first place.

You’ll hear personal examples (including a very real podcasting moment) and get a clear breakdown of how to rewire your brain away from the habit of self-criticism, by using my five-minute journaling method, the Daily 3™.

I’ll show you why trying to stop doing something isn’t effective—and how focusing on what you do want instead can change everything.

If you’re ready to move from “I know I’m being too hard on myself” to actually treating yourself with kindness and self-trust, this episode is for you.
