How to Quiet the Voice That’s Holding You Back

About this episode

Emma sits down with Tara Mohr, author of the bestselling ‘Playing Big’, for a conversation that started as an interview and turned into something much more personal. Tara has spent over a decade helping women understand why they hold themselves back — not from the outside, but from within.  Together Emma and Tara get into why your self-doubt gets loudest right when something actually matters, the difference between your inner critic and realistic thinking, why chasing confidence is the wrong goal, and the two types of fear — one keeping you stuck, one telling you you're exactly where you need to be. Then Tara introduces Emma to her  inner mentor and walks her through the exercise live, on camera.  In this episode you’ll learn:  What "playing small" really looks like, even when life looks big on the outside How to identify your inner critic and what to do about it How to tell the two types of fear apart  The guilt trap and how to know when guilt is actually yours How to stop outsourcing your decisions and become the authority in your own life The inner mentor exercise What's the voice in your head telling you right now  and is it actually true?
