Inside the Sedona Retreat: The Raw Truth That Changed Me

Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I’m sharing one of the most powerful transformations I’ve ever experienced—what happened when I met my Inner Critic face-to-face in the vortex energy of Sedona. From the moment “Worrying Wilhelmina” showed up, trying to make everyone happy and fix what wasn’t mine to fix, I was invited into a deeper truth: that real safety doesn’t come from control or perfection—it comes from presence, trust, and self-compassion. 🌙 You’ll hear how sitting in discomfort instead of scrambling to prove my worth became a portal into freedom, and how you, too, can meet your Inner Critic as a teacher rather than an enemy.

✨ If you’ve ever felt the pull between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, this conversation will guide you back home to the safety and power that already live inside you.

Your weekly reflection questions:

• When your Inner Critic’s voice gets loud, can you pause long enough to ask what part of you is truly seeking safety or love in that moment?

• What would shift in your life if you believed, deep in your bones, that you are already safe and worthy—without needing to fix, prove, or perform?

• The next time discomfort or disappointment arises, can you see it not as a setback, but as a portal inviting you to shed an old story and trust your Authentic Self more deeply?
