How To Tame Your Inner Critic (Without Gaslighting Yourself) with Megan Dalla-Camina | 354

This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

We’re taking out the mental garbage — the “you’re not enough / you’re too much / who the hell do you think you are?” soundtrack — and swapping it for inner wisdom that actually serves us. Our guest, Megan Dalla-Camina, bestselling author and founder of Women Rising, breaks down 13 inner-critic archetypes and gives us a simple 3-step system to catch the story, question it, and reframe it so we can move — with clarity — toward what we actually want.

She’s the author of books including Simple Soulful Sacred, which brings leadership and spirituality together to offer practical, soulful pathways to help women rise into their power and awaken their inner wisdom.

We also dig into how patriarchy scripts so many of these voices, why “taming” beats “silencing,” and what it looks like to let your critic ride in the car… but never drive.

We Cover

• Why naming your inner-critic archetype gives you leverage (language = power)

• The light side and shadow side of traits like perfectionism (at what cost?)

• The 3-step loop: Catch the story → “Is it true?” → Reframe

• How stress and burnout reactivate old patterns — and how to get back to wise self-leadership

• Moving from external validation to inner wisdom (aka you’re the decider)

Bottom line: you may not silence your head trash forever, but you can change the relationship, reclaim your power, and let your inner wisdom lead the way.
