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.

Monday Moment: What Are You Letting In?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This Monday Moment explores the idea of “letting” things into our lives, fun, ease, enoughness, even messiness, and the hidden beliefs that may quietly prevent them. A short reflection on heaviness, permission, and what might change if life didn’t always have to feel so hard.
Happy Monday. This morning, I was playing with the word let because when I stop to think about what I want more of in my life, I often come back to the same intention, to let life be a little more fun. So this morning at the top of my journal page, I wrote, "Let it be fun." And then I looked up the definition of the word let, and the first part said, "To give opportunity to," and the second part of that was, "To fail to prevent." And it was that second part that caused me to pause and really think because when I reflect on all the ways that I prevent fun, the list is pretty long. Things like needing everything to feel productive or needing things to be perfect, treating fun like something that has to be earned, or feeling like all the hard things have to get done first before I'm allowed to experience fun or joy. And it's pretty hard to let fun in while living by all these demanding rules that I have. So as I reflected on why having fun even mattered to me, I realized that it wasn't just to have fun for the sake of fun. It was more about who I might become when I stop believing everything meaningful has to feel hard. And considering what might life look like if I could let the everyday stuff be more fun rather than treating fun like it's the dessert of life that you only get to treat yourself to from time to time. I mean, what would shift? Shift in the way that I move through my day, how I speak to people, how I experience myself, how I get dressed. I just let my mind ponder what it would look like. And then I started thinking about all the other things I want to let into my life. Things like let it be easy, let it be enough, let it be messy. Not force, not prove, not earn, just let. So maybe that's the question for today. What would you love to let into your life? And what beliefs might you be holding onto to that quietly block it? Maybe take a few moments today to reflect on that, and whatever you discover- Well, let it be enough. Cheers
