Episode Notes
In this episode, we talk to Dr. Laura Gallaher about self-awareness, how to re-examine when we feel ourselves getting defensive and the “beautiful intentions” of the inner critic (and how to get her to quiet down!).
Memorable Moments:
- 6:40: The more I can be okay with my own imperfections, the more effective I end up being.
- 18:35: You’re never responding to the world around you, you’re only responding to the story you’re telling yourself about what it means.
- 19:57: Becoming more self-aware by surfacing the story inside your head is really powerful because you can really check the story you’re telling yourself and explore where that’s coming from.
- 27:00: The more I’d ask my inner critic, “Is there anything else you’d like me to know?”, she started to change her tone.
