This was such a fun conversation with renowned trauma expert Janyne McConnaughey... who joins us in this episode to learn more about how internal dialogue matters... a lot!  Janyne shares invaluable insights from her professional work and personal healing journey, emphasizing the power of positive self-talk and the concept of metacognition—thinking about our thinking. This episode is designed to inspire better self-care and mindfulness in perceiving and speaking to ourselves, providing practical strategies to foster a more supportive internal narrative.

We also address the pervasive issue of negative self-talk, particularly in high-pressure environments like ministry. Reflecting on personal experiences, Janyne and I discuss how self-criticism can hinder performance and amplify the fear of judgment. We explore the importance of positive self-affirmation and the acceptance of imperfection (grace!), encouraging listeners to treat themselves with the same kindness they offer to friends. 

Tune in for an episode packed with resources and encouragement for sustainable self-care practices
