SUMMARY

Educators are carrying more than ever, and in the middle of all that noise, the inner critic often shouts the loudest. In this episode of the Radical Hope Series, Michelle Kinder offers practical, light-lift ways to quiet that critic and tune into a steadier guide, the inner mentor.

With relatable stories, examples pulled straight from the classroom, and strategies from Tara Mohr (Playing Big), Richard Schwartz (No Bad Parts), and Jay Early & Bonnie Weiss (Freedom from Your Inner Critic), Michelle shows how to:

  • Spot and name the critic's different disguises (from perfectionist to guilt tripper).

  • Create distance and compassion instead of being overtaken by self-judgment.

  • Call on the calm, grounded wisdom of your inner mentor, even in the middle of a busy school day.

This conversation is about moving from exhaustion to steadiness, from fear to freedom, and remembering that you already carry the wisdom you need. It's not about silencing the critic, but choosing a truer voice so you can keep showing up, for yourself and for your students.
