Your inner critic shows up when the stakes rise. It questions your decisions, critiques your choices, and keeps a running commentary in the background. In this episode of Joyfully Unstoppable, Becky Hamm unpacks what drives that voice and how to work with it as a protection system that scans for risk, reputation, belonging, and exposure.
In this conversation, you will learn how to:
· Identify what your inner critic tries to protect in moments of growth, visibility, and meaningful decisions
· Create distance from the narrative so you can evaluate the signal and choose your next move
· Name the underlying need behind the criticism, then meet that need with clear action
