Episode Description from the Publisher

This week we're diving into one of the biggest things that can hold us back from becoming the person we want to be... our own self-talk. I've picked out some of my favourite moments from past episodes. Whether it's unrealistic expectations, fear of failure, or simply getting stuck in the same negative thought patterns, sometimes the voice that's sabotaging us the most is the one inside our own head. In this episode I share: Are you an asshole to yourself? A reality check. Have you ever stopped to think about whether you're actually being way too hard on yourself? Let’s get over your fear of failing together: How unrealistic expectations and negative self-talk can quietly creep into our everyday lives. Can your thoughts really change your life: Exploring the connection between our thoughts, our habits and the stories we tell ourselves every single day. … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears. This podcast is about growth that’s messy, building a life that actually fits you, and what happens when life doesn’t go to plan. We’ll talk mental health, motherhood, business, ADHD and how to stop being such an asshole to yourself. New episodes drop every Monday morning.So set your reminder. Pop in your headphones.
