Monday Moment: What Are You Letting In?

26: Chicken Wing Arms: Menopause, Self-Judgment, and the Habit of Putting Ourselves on Trial

Tania shares a very real moment from her own life: lying in bed, exhausted, judging her "chicken wing arms" and wondering why self-criticism continues to demand so much of our attention. What begins as a late-night conversation with herself about chicken wing arms, cellulite, and menopause quickly turns into a deeper exploration of self-judgment, the stories we tell ourselves, and the hidden belief that being hard on ourselves will somehow make us better. In this honest reflection, Tania questions the voice of the inner critic, explores the true cost of self-judgment, and invites listeners to consider whether that voice deserves as much authority as we've given it.

25: How I Learned the Voice in My Head Is Not Me

In this episode of Banish the Lies, Tania shares the story of a 10-day silent meditation retreat that challenged everything she thought she knew about peace, healing, and the voice in her head. What began as a search for relief from emotional pain became an unexpected lesson in observing thoughts rather than automatically believing them. Through humor, honesty, and reflection, Tania explores the difference between hearing the inner critic and becoming it, and why true freedom may have less to do with controlling our thoughts and more to do with changing our relationship to them. If you've ever found yourself trapped in worry, self-criticism, or the constant commentary of your own mind, this episode offers a powerful reminder: you are not the voice in your head.
