Have you ever caught yourself replaying that awkward moment from last week? Or hear that relentless voice in your head whispering, “You’re not good enough. You’ll never get this right”? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Dr. Bray dives into the science behind self-doubt, why your brain is wired for negativity, and—most importantly—how to stop letting your inner critic run the show.

Here’s what we unpack: -Why your brain is hardwired for self-doubt (hint: it’s an evolutionary survival tool) -The mental traps (cognitive distortions) that trick you into believing false narratives -A simple, research-backed technique to rewrite your self-talk and build confidence -The powerful story of Maya Angelou and how even the most successful people battle self-doubt

Your inner critic isn’t reality—it’s just one version of the truth. And you get to decide which voice you listen to.

Listen now and take back control of the conversation in your head!

QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "The voice in your head is never going to go completely away. But that doesn’t mean it has to run the show." “Treat yourself with the same kindness and perspective you would offer a friend.
