Breaking the Cycle of Negative Self-Talk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if confidence isn’t something you lack—but something shaped by how you talk to yourself?
In this episode of the Not Your Strong Black Woman Podcast, Nassimbwa Ruffin explores how negative self-talk quietly affects your confidence, your choices, and what you believe you deserve. She breaks down where negative self-talk comes from, why it feels so automatic, and how thoughts turn into feelings and behaviors.
You’ll learn Nassimbwa’s simple framework RCR—Recognize, Challenge, and Reframe, and how AI can be used as a supportive tool to help slow your thoughts, identify negative self-talk, and practice kinder, more honest self-talk—without shame or forced positivity.
Because confidence starts in the conversations you have with yourself.
