Fantastic summation of those inner voices and unhelpful dialogues! There used to be definitely something for everyone on that smorgasbord.

I’ve learned to turn the “what if” to my advantage- what if it does work? What if there is a different way? What if I asked for help? Etc

As always Jeannette, great writing

Yes taking charge and switching the "what ifs" is easy and it works. Thanks for that Maria!

I like this. My friends and I joke that anytime we hear one of us hating on ourselves out loud, we say “I’m gonna knock you into next week, next time I hear you talking trash about my friend!” 😊

Exactly. You’re true friends showing up for each other to say that!

How lovely hearing your voiceover, Jeanette! I'm thrilled that we talk the same language. We just sound a bit different.😀

And your five self-talk types. Spot on!!

I shall restack this with joy 💜
