Duct Tape for Your Inner Critic (Gently, of Course) | Dawn Mauricio

Duct Tape for Your Inner Critic (Gently, of Course) | Dawn Mauricio

If your inner narrator won't give it a rest — constantly judging, narrating, or second-guessing you — you're in good company.

In this live conversation from our weekly Substack sessions, Dan sits down with meditation teacher Dawn Mauricio to explore how to work with the nonstop chatter in your mind. They dig into common pitfalls like self-judgment, overthinking, and the feeling that you're "failing" at meditation — and how small mindset shifts can turn those moments into wins.

Dawn offers practical, kind, and often funny guidance for bringing gentleness and curiosity to your practice, whether your eyes are closed on the cushion or open while doomscrolling. Plus, Dan and Dawn swap tips on finding meditation community, celebrating awareness instead of berating yourself, and making mindfulness a little more doable — even when your mind won't shut up.
