Banish the Lies: Outsmart Your Inner Critic
Banish the Lies is a podcast for women who overthink, self-sabotage, and secretly feel stuck, even when life looks “together” on the outside.
Each week, host Tania Cervoni explores the quiet fears and false stories that shape how we see ourselves, lies like “you’ll never be enough” or “if it’s not perfect, it doesn’t count.” Through honest reflection, lived experience, and simple mindset shifts, she invites you to loosen your grip on fear, soften perfectionism, and step out of performance.
You’ll hear conversations about identity, self-trust, and what it actually looks like to live from truth instead of fear, with practical ways to quiet self-doubt and return to what matters.
Because healing doesn’t mean fixing who you are. It means remembering you were never broken.

Banish the Lies: Outsmart Your Inner Critic
Monday Moment: Even Anchors Can Wobble
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if being the steady one doesn’t mean you have to be unshakable? In this Monday Moment, I share a shaky morning, the imposter voice that followed, and a gentle reminder that even the anchors need support.
Happy Monday, wherever this moment finds you, I hope it's a good one, and as always, I have a small reflection I'd like to share. Here's the truth. This morning felt a little shaky. I felt waves of anxiety knocking at my window and right behind them, the imposter voice saying. Who are you to record a calming Monday moment when you don't feel especially calm? And I realized there was a rather unforgiving belief behind that voice. The belief that if I wanna support others and feeling steady, I better not be shaky myself and. Just saying that out loud is it's rather humorous, like somehow I'm supposed to have outgrown my humanity as a prerequisite for showing up for others. And as I thought more about the people who are anchors in my own life, the ones who are always there, always willing to stay up at all hours to listen. The ones always ready to jump in and help. Well. In thinking about these people, I realized I would never expect them not to have their own human moments. In other words, the people who anchor us in our lives are still allowed to wobble their need for support doesn't cancel out their capacity to give it and having a shaky moment doesn't erase the good you bring to people. And that got me thinking maybe the real work for some of us isn't learning how to serve better. Maybe it's learning how to receive. So if you're the strong one in your circle, the one always at the ready to help others, I gently ask you, are you willing to receive the same kind of support you so freely give to others? And if today happens to be one of those shaky days. What would it look like to let yourself be supported? Maybe that's the invitation for today. Cheers.
