Whose Voice Is in Your Head? Let's Unmask Your Inner Critic
In this episode of Create Today with Beth Buffington, you’ll discover the surprising truth about your inner critic: it just might be someone you know...from long ago (or yesterday). A teacher, a boss, a parent—someone who had harsh words for you in the past.


This episode will help you uncover WHO your inner critic really is and will show you five practical ways to quiet that voice so you can create with confidence.


What you’ll learn:

✔ How to identify the real person behind your inner critic

✔ Why that voice tries to “protect” you—but holds you back instead

✔ 5 powerful ways to manage the critic without losing energy

✔ How naming your critic changes everything

✔ A simple exercise to rewrite the voice with your truth


If you’ve ever wondered why self-doubt feels so personal, this episode will reveal the roots—and give you tools to take back your creative freedom.
