You know that voice that tells you you’re not doing enough - no matter how hard you try?

In this episode, I’m diving into the inner critic, that relentless voice that shows up when ADHD and anxiety collide. The one that fuels negative self-talk, chips away at self-esteem, and keeps saying that you should “do better.”

I’ll share how naming your inner critic can create space, calm emotional chaos, and remind you that you are not your thoughts. 💜

Because if you live with ADHD and anxiety, that inner voice can sound brutally convincing. It shows up in every missed deadline, every awkward moment, every time you overthink a text. But naming it helps separate you from it. Once you can recognise that voice as something outside of yourself, it loses its grip.

What I cover:

  • Why ADHD and anxiety amplify your inner critic
  • How negative self-talk affects focus, mood and self-esteem
  • Why naming the voice helps create distance and perspective
  • Practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts
  • How to respond with compassion and rebuild self-trust

💬 Quote to remember:

“You are not the voice in your head. You are the person who gets to choose how to respond to it.”

If this episode helps you feel a little lighter, share it with someone who needs a reminder that their thoughts aren’t facts. Be kind to yourself, name the voice, and take back your power.
