You Are Not Your Inner Critic | Organizational Psychologist Explains Why

Today, I’m sitting down with Meg Mateer, organizational psychologist and leadership coach, to talk about something almost everyone has, but few people openly talk about: the inner critic. Why does that voice sometimes get louder? Why does it contradict itself? And why does pushing it away only make it stronger? Meg shares a powerful reframe: your inner critic is not you. It’s more like a guard dog, desperately trying to protect you, but with blinders on and a limited view of danger. From there, we explore what actually helps: creating distance from the voice, listening for the fear underneath it, and rewriting outdated rules through small, low-stakes experiments that build real evidence and real confidence.
