From Inner Critic To Inner Ally: Transforming OCD And Self-Talk

Kick off 2025 with an empowering episode of the Get to Know OCD podcast featuring Katie Horwitch—author, mindset coach, founder of Women Against Negative Talk (WANT), and OCD advocate. Katie has faced the grip of negative self-talk firsthand and transformed her experience into a mission: to help others reshape how they speak to themselves, about others, and the world around them.

Katie calls negative self-talk a “cultural epidemic,” a pervasive, automatic voice that often goes unnoticed yet deeply influences our lives. In this transformative conversation, she shares practical strategies to quiet that voice, shift your mindset, and take control of your narrative in 2025.
