34: Quieting Your Inner Critic & Journeying Home to Self with Deepshikha Sairam

The School of Healing

“Journeying home to self isn't about getting there. It’s about coming to a place in your life of unbecoming, shedding the layers, releasing self-doubt, owning your worth, and trusting your intuition. “

Today's world is often inundated with messages telling us how we should look, act, and think. It can hurt our self-esteem and feed our inner critic negatively. The inner critic is the voice inside our heads that tells us we are not good enough, failing, or not worthy of love and respect. It can be challenging to overcome it, but it is essential if we want to know our purpose.
Cultivating self-compassion and acceptance is essential in quieting your inner critic and navigating balance in life. We all make mistakes, and we all have flaws. So instead of beating yourself up, show yourself some kindness and empathy. This can help you build a stronger sense of self-worth and lead to a more fulfilling life.
Let's begin our journey to self together by learning how to quiet our inner critic with Deepshikha Sairam in this episode. She is a keynote speaker on Inner Critic and metaphysical teachings. She helps high-achieving women get beyond their inner critic to unlock their limitless potential for more creativity and meaning.

Exceptional Highlight

• Life isn't about suffering. It's all about living. Why would we suffer if there was so much beauty around us? We need to let go of shame, guilt, and unworthiness. And that takes peeling off the layers and unmasking to really get to the core of who we really are.
• Sometimes, you need to let go that you cannot find balance in life without being overwhelmed. Finding balance is not about not being overwhelmed. It's about finding moments of calm and peace and doing your thing again.
• The feeling of overwhelm becomes like a huge mountain when we resist it. But when you acknowledge it and allow it to be there, you validate your feelings and permit yourself to let go of the burden; sooner or later, that feeling vanquishes or reverses.
