Episode 157: Unhooking the Lie that You Need to be Mean to Yourself

<span style='font-weight: 400;'>For those of us with high functioning anxiety, the voice of our inner Monger is</span> <em><span style='font-weight: 400;'>loud</span></em><span style='font-weight: 400;'>. </span> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>It’s the voice that tells us we’ll never succeed. </span></p> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>It’s the voice that tells us we’re an imposter and we’re mere moments away from being found out. </span></p> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>It’s an internal voice of belittling and nastiness.
