Being hard on yourself doesn’t always come from wanting to improve.
 Sometimes it comes from learning that pressure felt safer than compassion.

In this episode of the OnegirlOnegoal Podcast, we talk about the inner critic, self-blame, and the quiet exhaustion that comes from constantly correcting yourself. This is a calm, honest conversation for anyone who feels like they’re never doing enough — even when they’re trying their best.

This episode isn’t about silencing your thoughts or forcing confidence.
 It’s about understanding where harsh self-talk comes from, how self-criticism often forms as protection, and why being hard on yourself doesn’t mean you lack discipline or strength.

If you’ve been feeling worn down by your own thoughts — or wondering why kindness toward yourself feels so difficult — this conversation is here to meet you gently.


This episode may resonate if:
– you’re harder on yourself than anyone else
– your inner voice feels critical or unforgiving
– you replay mistakes or focus on flaws
– praise doesn’t land or feel believable
– you want mental health support that feels calm and human

Scripture referenced:
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.”
Romans 8:1 (KJV)
