In this episode, I’m joined by Steve Chapman, an artist and coach, to talk about working creatively with your inner critic. We talk about understanding this inner voice as a misguided protector rather than an enemy and explore creative approaches like drawing or dancing with your critic to better engage with it. However sceptical you may be about it, listen to us talk about finding compassion for that voice in your head and how art can be a therapeutic ally in your journey. Even if, like me, you cannot draw!

  • Discussion on creativity, imperfection, being stuck, shame, and the inner critic.
  • Struggles with a harsh inner critic for years.

  • Discussing mental health openly demonstrates personal growth and reduced stigma.
