Curious about how others manage their inner critic? This episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast's Think Thursday has Molly Watts tackling that nagging voice in your head that loves to say, 'You're not good enough.' Molly takes us on a journey through neuroscience and psychology, revealing why naming your inner critic can be a game-changer.
By giving that pesky voice a name, like 'Karen the Critic,' you create a psychological distance that allows you to observe and challenge it, rather than letting it run the show.

With practical advice, she suggests identifying the voice, giving it a name, and engaging in dialogue with it.
It's all about building self-awareness and empowering your wiser self. Molly’s light-hearted approach makes the episode both informative and entertaining, providing listeners with actionable steps to reclaim their inner peace. Whether you're struggling with self-doubt or just curious about personal growth, this episode offers valuable insights into taming that inner critic. So, are you ready to rename and reclaim your mental space? Dive in and start transforming your relationship with yourself today!
