What if the way you speak to yourself is the very thing holding you back?

Today I'm joined by Dr Marianne Trent, a Clinical Psychologist specialising in trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression.

We have a waffle about everything from self-compassion, curiosity, and learning how to quiet the inner critic.

From imposter syndrome and people-pleasing to trauma, burnout, and emotional resilience, Dr Marianne breaks down the hidden patterns that shape how we think, feel, and respond to the world around us. We explore why so many of us struggle to give ourselves the same kindness we offer everyone else, and how curiosity can be the key to real personal growth.

The episode dives into the idea of “glass and rubber balls” in life, helping us understand what truly deserves our energy and what’s okay to let bounce. Dr Marianne also shares practical tools for managing overwhelm, including grounding exercises, mindfulness techniques, breathing practices, and ways to reconnect with yourself when life feels too loud.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, overthinking, or feeling like you’re never “enough,” this conversation will hit home.
