Soften The Voice Within

With Dee Hennessy

Do you ever feel weighed down by the voice inside that says you’re not enough, you should be doing more, or that you’ll never get it right? That’s your inner critic — and while it often shows up harshly, it began as a misguided attempt to protect you. Soften the Voice Within is a gentle three-part course that helps you shift your relationship with this inner voice. Instead of battling or silencing it, you’ll learn to meet the critic with awareness, compassion, and skill. Through short teachings and simple guided practices, you will ; Understand where the inner critic comes from and how it affects you, Give it a name and a form, so you can see it clearly and respond with choice, Learn practical ways to live alongside the critic without letting it run the show. By the end of the course, you’ll have tools to soften its grip and strengthen the wiser, kinder voice of your true self. This journey is for anyone who longs for more self-acceptance, freedom, and inner peace. I invite you to join me on this journey — not to erase the voice within, but to befriend it, so that you can live with greater freedom, compassion, and ease.
