Sample Book Insights:
#1 The voice of not-me is the internal chatter that tells a woman she’s not ready to lead, she’s not enough of an expert, or she’s not good enough at this or that. It’s the voice of self-doubt, of the inner critic.
#2 Self-doubt is so destructive when not dealt with, but manageable once you know those tools. I’ve become passionate about helping women and girls learn how to work with their own self-doubt, so that it doesn’t get in their way.
#3 The voice of self-doubt is characterized by the eleven qualities that follow. It is a harsh, rude, and mean voice that speaks in binary terms, and it purportedly argues for what is in your best interest.
#4 The realistic thinker is forward-moving. She seeks solutions. The critic will spin and spin, ruminating on the risks and worst-case scenarios. The critic often speaks in an anxious, emotionally charged tone.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The voice of not-me is the internal chatter that tells a woman she’s not ready to lead, she’s not enough of an expert, or she’s not good enough at this or that. It’s the voice of self-doubt, of the inner critic.

#2

Self-doubt is so destructive when not dealt with, but manageable once you know those tools. I’ve become passionate about helping women and girls learn how to work with their own self-doubt, so that it doesn’t get in their way.

#3

The voice of self-doubt is characterized by the eleven qualities that follow. It is a harsh, rude, and mean voice that speaks in binary terms, and it purportedly argues for what is in your best interest.

#4

The realistic thinker is forward-moving. She seeks solutions. The critic will spin and spin, ruminating on the risks and worst-case scenarios. The critic often speaks in an anxious, emotionally charged tone.

#5

We all have an inner critic that tells us we aren’t good enough, but for women, the stakes are especially high. We know playing bigger may bring painful criticism or rejection, but we still choose to play bigger because we want to fulfill our callings and dreams.

#6

The inner critic is like a guard at the edge of your comfort zone. As long as you don’t venture forth out of that zone, the inner critic can leave you alone. But when you approach the edge of your comfort zone, test old beliefs, contemplate change, or stretch into playing bigger, you wake the sleeping guard.

#7

The inner critic can be a positive force when it motivates us to work hard and achieve, but it can also be a negative force that keeps us from doing the work we love. It can motivate us to do the wrong work.

#8

You can’t eliminate self-doubt, but you can learn to let it do its thing without taking direction from it. The goal is to hear the inner critic’s voice but not let that voice determine your choices.

#9

The inner critic is a voice that tells you that you are not good enough, but it is not the core of you. The core of you is the you of your aspirations, your inner wisdom, and your perplexedness by the critic’s voice.

#10

The critic is not who we really are. We can become identified with the critic, and this can lead to a negative response to our own aspirations. When we spend years strengthening our critical thinking skills, we can become accustomed to a more critical and skeptical mode of thinking.

#11

The inner critic is a result of your childhood experiences. It is a primary voice in your head, and it takes control as time goes on. If you feel like the inner critic is just who you are, rest assured: It’s not. You are in for some wonderful, liberating changes as you use the practices in this chapter.

#12

When you hear your critic, simply label it inner critic and separate it from the I of you. Then, create a character that personifies your inner critic and compassionately see its motives. Finally, turn down the volume on your critic’s voice.

#13

When you hear the critic, don’t respond with anger or argue with it. Instead, notice and name it, then investigate the critic’s motives. When you are in touch with the critic’s motives, you can see its intentions: to keep you safe from the kinds of attack, embarrassment, or isolation it most fears.

#14

The more mature you are, the more you will be able to handle yourself and your critics. When you hear your inner critic, say thank you and reassure it that everything is fine.
