Episode 7

Silencing Your Inner Critic and Building Self-Trust

Published on: 14th August, 2025

Sometimes you need a little pep talk before you go to the barn. In this episode, I update you on my own 90-day recommitment plan. I share where I am now, what’s been working, and the moment I realized I was letting my “inner bully” tell me a story about my horse that wasn’t even true.

I want you to know the exact ways I’ve learned to shut that voice down, build self-trust, and create those small moments of belief that grow into real confidence, on and off the horse.

In this episode, I share:

  • How I caught my inner critic in the act
  • Why I believe confidence is the outcome, not the starting point
  • How I use small milestones to keep momentum going
  • My process for writing affirmations that actually work for me
