The Inner Critic Is Not You—Here’s How to Reclaim Your Power

Inner Critic

Let me diagnose your struggles with self-worth, confidence, and creative paralysis, ready?

You’ve been blaming your job, your childhood, your relationships, your schedule, your “lack of discipline.” But if you’re anything like the brilliant, sensitive, quietly powerful women I work with, there’s something else running the show behind the scenes.

It’s your Inner Critic. And she’s LOUD.

You know her well.
She’s the one who whispers “Who do you think you are?” right when you’re about to make a bold move.
She’s the one who replays every mistake you’ve made like a broken record.
She’s the one who says, “Better play it safe,” every time your soul says, “Let’s go.”

She doesn’t just sabotage your goals—she chips away at your identity.
And worst of all? She sounds like you. 

Where the Inner Critic Comes From (and Why She’s Not Actually Evil)

Let’s get one thing straight: your Inner Critic isn’t your enemy. She’s a part. A survival strategy.
She was born from fear, not malice. She developed when you were young—maybe when being “too much,” “too loud,” “too ambitious,” or “too emotional” got you punished or ignored.

So she got smart.
She learned how to protect you by keeping you small.

“If I criticize her first, maybe no one else will.”
“If I keep her perfect, maybe she’ll finally feel safe.”
“If I shame her into hiding, at least she won’t get hurt again.”

It’s a tragic kind of love, isn’t it?

But Here’s the Truth: That Voice Isn’t You

You were never meant to live your life narrated by that voice.

You are not here to tiptoe through life hoping not to be “too much.”
You’re here to become—to unfold into the Sacred, whole, liberated version of you.

And that can only happen when you stop believing the Inner Critic is the truth-teller.

Because she’s not.

She’s just loud. And scared. And misunderstood.

What Happens When the Inner Critic Runs the Show?

Here’s how you’ll know your Inner Critic has taken the wheel:

  • You procrastinate on the very things you want most.
  • You feel a low-grade anxiety every time you think about being seen.
  • You beat yourself up for resting, but also feel depleted doing everything.
  • You micromanage, overwork, overthink, and then collapse with guilt.
  • You don’t trust your voice, your intuition, your enough-ness.

This part of you doesn’t just stop you from doing things—she stops you from becoming who you truly are.

How to Unhook from the Inner Critic (Without Waging War on Her)

Most people try to silence the critic with affirmations or pep talks. But here’s the truth:

You can’t fight her and heal her at the same time.

In my work with clients through the Sacred Becoming program, we use a different approach—one that’s grounded in parts work, inner safety, and self-leadership.

We don’t shame the Critic.
We meet her.
We listen to what she’s afraid of.
We discover who she’s been protecting.
And slowly, gently, we help you take your power back—not by silencing her, but by showing her you’re the one in charge now.

What Happens When You Heal This Part?

When you stop living under the voice of your Inner Critic, here’s what changes:

  • You show up unapologetically, not anxiously.
  • You make decisions from inner wisdom, not fear.
  • You trust your process—even when it’s messy.
  • You take up space, speak your truth, and love your voice again.
  • You create the life, love, and leadership that reflect the truth of your soul.
