EP 96. Turn Your Inner Critic into an Inner Coach with Dr Bex Bell

If your inner critic is loud, draining your confidence, and holding you back from stepping into your leadership fully, this episode is for you.I’m joined by Dr Bex Bell, speaker, coach, and author of Inner Critic to Inner Coach, for a conversation on what really causes our self-doubt cycles and, more importantly, how to shift out of them. Bex brings her background in psychology, health, and coaching to explain why our inner critic forms, why it’s not actually the enemy, and how you can build a much more powerful and compassionate voice inside yourself.In this episode, we talk about:- Why your inner critic exists (and why it's not trying to ruin your life)- The real cost of ignoring self-doubt and perfectionism- How to spot the subtle signs you're stuck in an inner critic spiral- Practical ways to build your inner coach and rewire your thinking- Why leaders must manage their self-talk to lead others effectivelyBex also shares simple, practical strategies you can start using right away to quiet the noise, build more self-compassion, and move forward with confidence, even when you’re facing uncertainty, change, or new leadership challenges.If you’re ready to lead with more clarity, courage, and kindness toward yourself (and your team), this conversation will give you the tools to start.I’d love to hear your story and support your next step.
