Embracing Strengths and Silence The Inner Critic
Let’s talk about that pesky inner critic we all know too well. You know, that little voice that loves to rain on our parade and sprinkle doubt all over our dreams? We can get trapped in a cycle of negative self-talk, constantly questioning our abilities and worth.
Sometimes we try to shut up that inner critic by seeking validation from others or constantly striving for perfection. Doing these things just keeps that whole self-doubt loop going instead of getting you where you want to go.
In this episode, my guest MaryAnn Gramig emphasizes the importance of setting big goals, stepping out of your comfort zone, and silencing your inner critic. MaryAnn is a Certified Gallup Strengths Coach with a unique passion for helping individuals overcome self-doubt and negative self-talk. She uses her gift to help others find their strengths and authenticity, so they can conquer those inner battles and live a confident, fulfilling life.
Tune in and you’ll learn about:
- MaryAnn’s personal experience of being bullied in elementary school and how that influenced her self-confidence for many years.
- Challenging the doubts inside you to move yourself forward on a path of continuous personal and professional growth.
- Investing in your personal skill development and how it directly influences your success.
- The story of digital marketing assistant, Angela (a graduate of my UDMA School) and how she’s become an invaluable asset to MaryAnn’s business.
After you listen to this episode, send me a DM with the name you’ve given your inner critic. I love hearing from my audience and want to know what name you picked!
