Void Bloom. 16" x 20". Part 3 of 45.

The inner critic isn’t you; it’s a learned "Void" of internalized negativity. The secret? Separation.

The Monster: "I am unworthy."
Reality: "I am having the thought that I am unworthy."

Strip the monster of its power. It’s just noise.

I named my inner critic "The Beast." 👹
When he starts listing my flaws, I just say,
"Okay Beast, thanks for sharing," and move on.
It’s hard to take the insults seriously when the voice has a silly name.

When Inner Critic jabbers on ("nobody wants to read your work blah blah"), I remind myself that it has an agenda. The Critic NEEDS people not to read so it can peddle its conspiracies. (Sounds familiar) #innercritic #writingcommunity #creativelife #hsp #writerslife #3amthoughts

Intrusive Thoughts: Why Your Brain SCARES You (and Why It's Normal) Ever drive over a bridge and your brain whispers, "What if I just swerved?" 🌉 If you have, don't panic. You aren't losing your mind—you’re just human. In this eye-opening episode, we are diving deep into the dark, weird, and completely normal world of intrusive thoughts. Why does your brain conjure up the most terrifying scenarios at the worst possible times? From the sudden urge to jump from heights (known scientifically as the Call of the Void) to the crushing anxiety that you are falling behind in life, we break down the neuroscience behind your mental chatter. We explore the theory that your brain isn't trying to hurt you; it’s actually a hyper-vigilant safety simulator trying to protect you. We’ll show you why these "glitch" moments are actually signs of high self-awareness and strong moral values, not evidence of insanity. In this episode, we cover: - 🧠 The Call of the Void: Why healthy minds simulate danger. - 📉 The Comparison Trap: Why you feel like you're failing (when you aren't). - 🛡️ Brain vs. Safety: How to retrain your mind's alarm system. - ✨ Anxiety Hacks: Turning self-judgment into self-compassion. Stop fighting your thoughts and start understanding them. It’s time to realize that your "crazy" thoughts are actually just your survival instincts working overtime.

New Findings on Perfectionism and Self-Care What if there’s more than one kind of perfectionism, and what kinds of coping techniques might be useful for someone who identifies as a perfectionist?

Two different kinds of perfectionism (Self Critical, and Personal Standards) have different challenges with mindfulness and self-compassion, though both benefit from just two weeks of practice.

SPEAKING SHAME 8/10
Shame shows up as internal recordings—shame tapes, gremlins—messages of self-doubt and self-criticism. The less we speak it, the more control it has. 🎧

Why We Self-Sabotage: The Upper Limit Problem & How to Stop It Ever feel like you’re finally climbing the ladder of success, only to accidentally-on-purpose kick it out from under yourself? Maybe you procrastinate right before a big deadline, pick a fight when your relationship is going perfectly, or ghost a huge opportunity. Welcome to the club. It’s not because you’re "crazy" or "lazy"—it’s because you are suffering from Self-Sabotage. But here is the controversial twist we explore in this episode: Your self-sabotage is actually trying to save you. In this deep dive into the psychology of success, we expose why your brain treats a "promotion" or a "happy relationship" like a saber-toothed tiger. We are unpacking the Upper Limit Problem, dissecting the Inner Critic, and revealing why your subconscious mind is addicted to the "safety" of your struggle. We explain how "getting in your own way" is a sophisticated defense mechanism designed to keep you in your comfort zone. But staying safe implies staying stuck. In this episode, you will learn: - Why the fear of success is often stronger than the fear of failure. - How to identify your "Upper Limit" before you crash. - Practical Somatic Therapy hacks to calm your nervous system when things get too good. - How to shift from a fixed state to a Growth Mindset using small, manageable goals. Stop apologizing for wanting more. It’s time to rewire your brain, silence the doubt, and realize that you don’t just want success—you actually deserve it. Ready to get out of your own way?
