In the fourth and final instalment of THE CONFIDENCE CLINIC series, this episode of the "Shedding Skin and Blisters" podcast focuses on integrating various concepts to help listeners manage their inner beliefs and tame those inner critics.  Sharon & Fiona introduce the "bus" metaphor, where different parts of one's personality, depicted as various "girls" (such as the Inner Critic girl, the Insecure girl, the Abundance girl, the FOPO girl etc.), are all passengers & have seats on this bus. The key is identifying who is driving the bus by naming and personifying these parts, one can build relationships with them, recognize their contributions, and start steering their life in a positive direction.  This episode also emphasizes the importance of using compassionate self-inquiry tools to ease and soothe oneself. In using these tools; one can maintain confidence and resilience in the face of criticism and navigate one’s personal and professional life more effectively. In summary, this episode revolves around self-acceptance, the power of the present moment, and managing reactions to foster confidence and inner peace. By knowing that true confidence stems from self-acceptance rather than external achievements or possessions.

S3 Ep2 of THE CONFIDENCE CLINIC series on Understanding and Befriending Your INNER CRITIC

On this episode of our CONFIDENCE CLINIC series, we dive deep into a topic Fiona and I discuss often: the famous inner critic. Following our exploration of limiting beliefs in episode 1, we now turn our attention to that voice in your mind that often undermines your confidence. The inner critic often stems from past experiences and operates out of a misguided sense of protection. We explore the various personas the inner critic can take on & how if we let her, this inner voice will hold us back.  Understanding your internal dialogue & developing a relationship with your inner critic is essential for building true confidence. In doing so you will transform her criticisms into constructive insights. Practical techniques like self-awareness, reframing, and constructive dialogue can transform your inner critic from a hindrance to an ally. Join us as we continue our journey towards greater confidence, one step at a time, by understanding and befriending the inner critic.

Welcome back to S3 of Shedding Skin & Blisters. We have a 4-part series THE CONFIDENCE CLINIC focusing on everything CONFIDENCE! EP1 focuses on recognizing, challenging & overcoming LIMITING BELIEFS!

Welcome back to Season 3 of the Shedding Skin and Blisters Podcast. This time around Sharon Keegan and Fiona O'Carroll kick off a special series called THE CONFIDENCE CLINIC focused on everything you guessed it…..confidence. Over the next four episodes, we will explore the intricacies of building and sustaining confidence, addressing common barriers and providing actionable advice. In this episode we start by explaining that confidence often stems from self-beliefs and how these can either empower or limit us. Many limiting beliefs are internalized from societal, cultural, or familial messages and these manifest as critical inner voices that undermine confidence. Naming and personifying these critical voices (e.g., "Critical Keira," "Negative Nellie") can help in recognizing and challenging them. Identifying and understanding personal blocks is crucial for growth along with practicing self-compassion and challenging negative thoughts as mere stories rather than facts. Finally taking consistent & intentional actions daily will help you in your journey of building confidence. Join Sharon and Fiona in the Confidence Clinic to unlock your full potential and embrace all of who you are. Stay tuned for Episode 2, where Sharon and Fiona will dive deeper into practical exercises and techniques to further enhance your confidence journey.

S2 Ep8 on the power of SELF-TALK; how we must learn to talk to ourselves in a more positive manner & ultimately be kind to our minds.

On the final instalment of this season of Shedding Skin and Blisters; we look at the power of self-talk, how we can actually manifest the negative in the same way we do the positive, so we need to create awareness around the language we use towards ourselves.  Women internally struggle with their own narrative and voice, 99% of the time they struggle to describe themselves in a positive manner or to have a healthy body image. We have to start creating awareness in ourselves of how much negative self-talk we do and what those thoughts can do to our minds; essentially where our attention goes, our energy flows. We mustn’t allow negative ideations from our inner critic to infiltrate our thoughts, our beliefs, our emotions and break our internal operating system. We must use positive self-talk to re-programme our minds and police what we’re saying to ourselves; this is self-care and the ultimate form of self-love. In giving ourselves permission to be kind to our minds; we light ourselves up, we lift our energies, we manifest goodness into our lives, and we give ourselves permission to love ourselves.  At Peachylean we have our mantra; I am strong, I am beautiful, I believe in myself, I am true to myself, and I am enough. Repeat this every day, throughout the day, when you first wake and just before you go asleep; start believing it and you will speak the best version of yourself into existence.  **Helpful Links** Follow the Podcast [https://www.instagram.com/sheddingskinandblisters/?hl=en] Connect with Sharon on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharkeegan/] and follow on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/shar_keegan/?hl=en]  Connect with Fiona on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/fiona-o-carroll-44a72716/] Check out the Peachylean Instagram here [https://www.instagram.com/peachyleanofficial/?hl=en] Check out the Peachylean website ⁠here⁠ [https://peachylean.com/] This podcast is sponsored by PEACHYLEAN.
