Episode notes
🔍 Episode Summary:
Ever notice how your inner critic can be a real jerk?
In this punchy, thought-provoking episode, Chris and Patrick tackle the invisible commentary running through your mind—your self-talk. They call out the ridiculous, often toxic messages we give ourselves, and offer a radically simple idea: what if you stopped believing your own bullshit?
With humor, empathy, and a refreshing dose of realism, they explore how negative self-talk becomes habitual, how it keeps us stuck, and what to do when that inner voice starts trash-talking. You’ll learn how to separate fact from fiction, shame from accountability, and discomfort from destruction.
This isn’t about pretending everything is great—it’s about seeing things clearly, especially when it comes to how you treat yourself.
💡 What You’ll Learn:
- Why your internal monologue might be full of lies
- How to identify unhelpful self-talk and challenge it
- Why shame isn’t a useful motivator (and what is)
- How to create internal boundaries for your own voice
- A practical tool for interrupting the shame spiral
- The difference between true reflection and self-punishment
