4 wAys to Befriend Your Inner Critic

  • Awareness says: I pay attention to myself

  • Attending says: I find clarity and regulation when i’m present

  • Addressing says: I respond with compassion and grace for myself.

  • Acceptance says: I don’t abandon myself when things are hard

These strong tools are the pathway to kinder self-talk and strengthening your sense of self:

I use EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique, also called 'Tapping" as a powerful way to create safety around what you're experiencing. 

Tapping the meridian points on your body sends calming signals to the worry center of your brain; Helping individuals with a persistent Inner Critic finally find peace.

Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping Script

Meet Meredith

Certified Life Coach

In 2018 I was a part-time caregiver for my parents who were battling Parkinson's Disease (Dad) and Pancreatic Cancer (Mom).​

​

The tools I learned from The Life Coach School and Better Than Happy podcasts improved my quality of life and made my caregiving experience less stressful. 

​

I've had a loud inner critic for as long as I can remember. There was a time when everything I did had to be analyzed, picked apart and improved upon. It was exhausting. 

​

When I even criticized myself for "doing it wrong" by being with my Mom when she passed away, I finally decided I'd had enough.

​

At first I tried to crush my Inner Critic. Then I realized I needed to turn toward and acknowledge her. 

​

That's the courageous work I've been doing ever since; And I invite you to give it a try.

​

I am certified through The Life Coach School and a Holistic Master Coach Training Certification with Molly Claire Coaching.

Meredith has a way of exposing my thoughts about myself that leads to aha moments. 
Her ability to ask thought provoking questions leads you down a path of self discovery and you know you are not alone. Meredith is beside you all the way. Non judgmental and loving she has a beautiful way to guide you to self acceptance no matter what your age.

Meredith's emails, weekly Drop-In calls, Calm Community Group Coaching and a Conflict to Connection class I took from her last August have all been game changers in my life. Jody Moore and Brooke Castillo laid the foundation for me, but Meredith resonates with me more and was the crowning piece I needed most.

I had the privilege of working with Meredith, and am grateful for the precious gems of knowledge she shared with me.   Meredith’s caring, insightful, and nonjudgmental attitude made  it easy to share experiences with her!  I learned so many things about myself, and how powerful our thoughts are. Thank you for listening, coaching, and guiding me to see my feelings through a new lens.  Every session was so empowering!  Thank you!!

- Heather L.
