What if your inner critic isn't the enemy? In this episode, trauma-informed coach Jo Bell reveals why that harsh voice is trying to protect you—and how understanding it, rather than fighting it, creates the foundation for authentic self-leadership and lasting personal transformation.
Jo shares insights from her own journey through severe depression to becoming a guide for women ready to live unfiltered, exploring the science of neuroplasticity, the myth that self-criticism drives success, and why self-compassion is essential for heart-centred leadership. This conversation will completely shift how you relate to yourself and step into your truth.
