Episode 63: Befriending Your Inner Critic with Jazzmyn Proctor

Ever feel like your inner critic has way too much to say? Like it’s out here running the show when all you want to do is move forward without second-guessing yourself? Same, friend. That’s why this episode is a must-listen.

This week, I’m sitting down withJazzmyn Proctor, host ofAll Our Parts and an IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapist, for a deep dive into the world of our inner critics—those voices that tell us we’re not ready, not good enough, or need todo more before we take the next step.

Jazz shares how IFS therapy helps usactually befriend those parts of ourselves instead of constantly battling them. We talk about:
✨ Why your inner critic exists (spoiler: it’s not just to stress you out)
✨ The power of pausing before making decisions in a heightened state
✨ How naming your inner critic (like Jazzmyn's, Edna) can make itway less scary
✨ The connection between self-trust, creativity, and doing businessyour way

This was the first-everReturn in-person recording, and let’s just say—Jazz and I hadtoo much fun unpacking these topics. Expect deep insights, laughs, and the reminder that your inner critic isnot the enemy—it’s just a part of you that needs a little love.

🎧 Hit play and let’s dive in.
