That little voice inside your head has a way of keeping you small. The whispers of "I'm not good enough" or "Who do I think I am?" stop many of us before we even get started. But what if I told you that voice isn't actually yours?

Drawing from my own journey through teenage pregnancy, bankruptcy, and identity struggles, I explore how our harshest critic lives rent-free in our minds, shaped by childhood experiences, cultural expectations, and generational trauma. For those of us raised with "no seas presumida" messaging, shining too brightly felt dangerous – a lesson that followed me from high school classrooms to corporate boardrooms.

Self-sabotage isn't just negative self-talk; it's the actions we take (or avoid) that undermine our success. I share how fear of judgment kept me from launching this podcast for years and how I overcame the paralysis of perfectionism. The journey from self-doubt to self-compassion required practical tools: breath work to reset my nervous system, mirror work to rebuild self-trust, and boundaries to stop giving myself the leftovers after serving everyone else.

Healing begins when we recognize that the inner critic isn't truth – it's just old programming. Every time you choose kindness toward yourself, you're breaking cycles and healing generations forward and back. Remember: you are worthy of peace, love, joy, and success. Don't let that cabrona inner critic write your story. Tú eres la autora de tu vida.
