Vulnerability is the path we must walk to the truth and in this episode, Jo’s enormous courage to be vulnerable is rewarded with a huge shift in her mindset. She suffers from social anxiety which has worsened since the pandemic to the point where she’s even been afraid to take a walk around her local park. During our coaching session, Jo starts to understand that it’s the fear of other people’s judgements of her that’s making her think she’s not good enough and holding her back. We undertake a powerful coaching exercise to plug her back into her authentic self. This is an amazing, life-changing episode that you cannot miss.
Listen out for themes of fear, social anxiety and inner critic work.
If you are struggling with a harsh inner critic, please know that you are not alone. My book, Flying for Beginners – a proven system for lasting self-confidence, takes you step by step through the powerful process Jo went through in this episode.
I can also recommend Daring Greatly by Brené Brown and Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway by Susan Jeffers.
Whatever you do, know this: your inner critic is lying to you 99% of the time so unless you are in physical danger you don’t have to believe what it’s saying to you.
