The Inner Critic: 9 Voices That Won’t Shut Up (and How to Deal With Them)

Ever feel like you’ve got a tiny judge (or a giant gray monster) sitting on your shoulder with a megaphone? That’s your inner critic, and it has a different script for each Enneagram type. In this episode, we'll look at how the voice of judgment shows up for all 9 types, from the Type 1’s perfection police to the Type 9’s chill hippie dude.

You’ll also learn 7 practical (and fun!) practices to loosen the critic’s grip, like personifying it, reassigning its job, forgiving yourself through the body, and even giving your critic a silly operatic voice (yes, there may be bad singing in this episode. You have been warned).

This episode is equal parts funny and real, because let’s face it, living with an inner critic is exhausting! If you’re ready to stop letting that voice run your life, this one’s for you.
