In this episode of Finding Flow State, host Steph Ellen dives into the common struggle of self-criticism when we fail to live up to our own advice. Are you truly a hypocrite, or just a human trying to navigate the complexities of life?

In this solo chat, Steph riffs on:

• The difference between hypocrisy and being human
• How perfectionism and unrealistic expectations fuel self-criticism
• The neuroscience behind self-criticism and the brain’s negativity bias
• Why cognitive dissonance (internal conflict) occurs when actions don’t align with beliefs
• How to use self-compassion to rewire your brain and manage your inner critic
• Practical tips for staying aligned with your values without harsh judgment

Whether you’re a high achiever, entrepreneur, or someone seeking more self-compassion, this episode offers actionable strategies to overcome self-criticism and embrace your humanity.
