Navigating growth as a coach, thought leader or creative and really, any kind of human…. is challenging at the best of times, but what if you also have a strong inner critic?In this important episode, I talk about where the inner critic comes from, what it's job is (it has one), and how to navigate it when it tries to take you out.I also share the exact first step to take, if you're ready to release yourself from the grip your inner critic has on you, and your possibility.Thank you for listening ~ if you find The Embodied Leader Podcast helpful, please consider leaving a rating and review! Some links mentioned in this episode:FREE!

Not being seen is a deep wound for many, wanting to be seen is a deep desire for many, and being seen can bring up some big feelings and embodied survival responses that can be really challenging to manage … what a conundrum.This Embodied Leader Episode is all about the trauma of visibility and I’m so glad you’re listening! In this episode, we unpack:- The importance of being valued and seen in our truth, both personally and professionally.
- What happens when our desire to be seen is greater than our capacity (trauma)?- My own experience with visibility in my business.- The impact of systemic oppression and embodied trauma when it comes to being seen.- Why “just show up more” is sh!t advice, and what to do instead.
- How seeing ourselves is an important step towards being seen by others.Links mentioned in the episode:Resounding Woman Retreat Costa Rica 2025: www.elisebesler.com/costaricaPeople Pleasing Interrupted Masterclass: www.elisebesler.com/peoplepleasing Confident AF Program Waitlist: Get on the list HERE! Check out my website HERE!
