What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Ronni and Jennie, two sisters who have overcome a tumultuous childhood filled with addiction, abuse, and mental illness, share their journey of healing and friendship. In this episode, they tackle the critical voice that often echoes in our minds, a voice that many of us might not even realise is there. This internal critic can be relentless, but Ronni and Jennie have found ways to disrupt this negative train of thought.

They open up about their experiences growing up in a home where perfection was demanded, and how these unrealistic expectations shaped their self-perception. Through candid anecdotes, the sisters reveal the power of questioning these internalised voices and the importance of challenging them. Whether it's talking out loud to oneself or finding humour in the absurdity of these thoughts, they offer practical strategies for taking back control.

The episode is both a heartfelt reflection on their past and a hopeful message for anyone struggling with similar issues. By sharing their personal stories and the lessons they've learned, Ronni and Jennie encourage listeners to examine the origins of their own critical voices. The sisters' warmth and honesty make this episode not only informative but also deeply relatable. As they remind us, reclaiming our thoughts is an ongoing process, but one that can lead to greater self-love and acceptance.

So, are you ready to challenge the critical voice inside your head?
