    About this Episode

    In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, Joanna Kleinman challenges the idea that confidence is just about external achievements and proposes a deeper, more universal truth: everyone experiences self-doubt and insecurity, but true confidence arises from connecting with your authentic self, free from the ego's limitations.

    The host argues that our automatic mind, the "IC," creates false identities and attachments that hinder us. Letting go of these and connecting with our "Authentic Self" (AS) fosters natural confidence. True purpose, instead of being something you need to figure out, emerges from aligning with the flow of the universe and bringing consciousness into the world through your own actions.

    Reflection Questions:

    1. How does your "IC" manifest in your life? What are some triggers for your self-doubt?

    2. How can you connect more deeply with your "AS"? What practices or activities help you feel authentic?

    3. What does "bringing consciousness into the world" mean to you? How can you contribute your unique light?

    In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, Joanna delves into breaking free from the limitations of your inner critic and its automatic beliefs. She discusses how our inner beliefs and automatic thoughts can hold us back from experiencing real transformation and joy.
