If you’re a high-achieving woman who struggles with overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional triggers, or that relentless inner critic…this episode is for you. This week on Work Unscripted, Marlo sits down with therapist and former Army officer Elaine Belson to talk about the psychology behind the inner critic, or as Elaine calls it, the inner bully.
Together, they unpack the six habits that fuel self-doubt in high-functioning women: ruminating, mind reading, anticipating others’ reactions, comparing, second-guessing, and over-analyzing.
You’ll learn:
- Why high-achieving women experience such brutal inner criticism
- How emotional triggers and automatic thoughts form and how to interrupt them
- Coping mechanisms that actually work in high-pressure workplaces
- How to build emotional intelligence and self-validation skills
- How to handle perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and fear of failure
- Practical strategies to manage your emotions in the moment
If you’ve ever wondered why you feel “not good enough” despite being excellent at your job, this conversation will help you understand the root causes and give you tools to navigate work and life with more clarity, compassion, and confidence.
