This 7-day course invites you into a gentle exploration of your inner critic — the voice that judges, shames, or pushes you to be more. Through somatic grounding, inner dialogue, and compassionate inquiry, you'll learn to meet this voice with curiosity, uncover its origins, and gradually shift your inner tone toward kindness and support. Each daily audio offers a short guided practice designed to help you deepen awareness, reclaim inner space, and build a more caring relationship with yourself.
