The Song Lyric That Changed Everything for Me

I’m My Own Worst Enemy (But Not Anymore)
Have you ever had a song stuck in your head for hours like it’s trying to tell you something? That happened to me not long ago. Pink’s Don’t Let Me Get Me was playing on repeat in my brain when suddenly, it clicked. The line “I’m my own worst enemy” hit me like a spotlight, and I realized those lyrics were echoing the same messages my inner critic was throwing at me every single day.
That realization stopped me in my tracks. Because here’s the truth: our inner critics are sneaky. They don’t shout. They whisper, and they whisper so often that we stop questioning whether those voices are true. We just accept them.
You’re not ready.
You don’t know enough.
Who do you think you are?
Someone else is already doing it better.
Before you know it, those whispers are running the show.
And it’s debilitating. The inner critic makes you procrastinate on projects you care about. It convinces you to shrink your offers, undersell your talents, and water down your voice. It tells you that rest is laziness, that failure is final, and that perfection is the only way forward. And the cruelest part? It makes you believe you’re the problem, when really it’s just a voice you’ve learned to listen to.
But here’s what I discovered: that voice doesn’t have to be the director of your story. Once I recognized it for what it was, I started searching for ways to quiet it, challenge it, and even rewrite the script. That journey eventually led to my Banish Your Inner Critic workshop, where I shared the exact tools and strategies that helped me reclaim my confidence and energy.
The tools I share inside this workshop are the same ones that helped me break free from my own inner critic. They’re designed to give you that same sense of clarity and freedom—the kind where you can finally move forward without second-guessing yourself at every step. And now the replay is ready for you.
If your inner critic has been:
- Holding your business hostage with endless self-doubt
- Killing your creativity before it even has a chance to breathe
- Making you question your worth no matter how much you accomplish
…then you’re going to want this replay. Because inside, I don’t just talk about the problem. I walk you through actionable tools to finally shut down that relentless voice and step back into your power.
The inner critic may always be there, lurking in the background, but it doesn’t have to control the spotlight. With the right tools, you can lower the volume and choose a different narrative—one where you actually believe in yourself again.

Take five minutes and try this:
“If your inner critic had a face, what would it look like? Describe it, draw it… embody it in whatever creative way you’re most comfortable.”
Sometimes, making that voice visible gives you power over it. You stop treating it like the ultimate authority and start seeing it for what it really is: just another character in your story.
💻 How the Inner Critic Shows Up Everywhere
That inner critic doesn’t just live in your head—it sneaks into every corner of life. See if any of these sound familiar:
- Pricing & Money: “Charge less so people will say yes.”
- Marketing & Visibility: “Don’t post that—it’s not good enough.”
- Creativity: “Someone else already did this better, so why bother?”
- Career Moves: “You’re not qualified for that promotion/job shift.”
- Personal Life: “You should be further along by now.”
- Everyday Confidence: “Don’t speak up—you’ll just sound foolish.”
That voice is sneaky. It keeps you undercharging, hiding, procrastinating, and doubting yourself... whether it’s in your work, your career, or even your relationships. Recognizing its patterns is the first step in breaking free… and that’s exactly what the Banish Your Inner Critic Replay helps you do.
