Inner Critic Detox
The Confidence Cycle Workshop - Fall 2027
Details
Date: January 4th, 2027
Time: 7:00-8:00 PM EST
Location: Virtual / Google Meet
Overview
In the quiet of winter, we turn inward—and that’s often when the inner critic gets loud. This session is about identifying the harsh inner voice that questions your every move, learning where it came from, and beginning to relate to it differently.
Rather than trying to “silence” the inner critic, we’ll explore how to respond to it with grounded compassion and truth, so it no longer drives your decisions or diminishes your confidence.

After the Workshop
You’ll leave with greater awareness of your inner critic’s patterns—and the power to respond instead of react. You’ll receive the Inner Ally Script Builder, a short, powerful tool to help you rewrite the voice in your head with one rooted in self-respect, not self-attack.
In Session 4: Worthy by Default, we’ll move from defense to expansion and explore what it means to embody your worth—without needing to earn it.
