“It’s really hard to parent when you're beating the crap out of yourself ” -- How to Model Healthy Self Talk AND how your inner voice & dialogue are impacting everything -- With Andrea Rowley

Do you ever wonder how that inner voice of yours is shaping your world and impacting your mental health, your body, your reality and especially your relationships?

Andrea Rowley (an expert in cognitive behavioral coaching and Chief Clinical Coach Officer at Noble Health) joins us this week to share how,

"Our language is defining what we believe about ourselves."

Andrea suggests considering questions like,

"What am I missing?"

“Maybe there is more to this inner narrative outside of me, that I am not seeing?”

This shift away from yourself-centric mid brain, not only fosters a healthier self-relationship, but also activates the brain'sproblem-solving prefrontal cortex.

Dr. Skinner adds, "Curiosity is a huge factor here," encouraging listeners to replace our self-condemnation with curiosity and challenging our ingrained negative beliefs.

Asking ourselves and our children frequently:

“How is your relationship with yourself?

How are you speaking to yourself?

How are you treating yourself?”

….These questions can reframe our miscalculated and misguided ideas about our worth and especially recenter our own children’s sense of worth.

Small simple shifts to more positive and compassionate inner language can move mental mountains!

We hope you will join us this week on Finding Noble!

You and us--

We got this,

Carly Red & Dr. Skinner
