Season 7, Episode 8: From Self-Doubt to Self-Worth: Transforming the Power of Your Inner Critic with Sophie Dear.

“ When you start to speak to yourself in a different way, you are literally rewiring your brain, like there is so much science that can show that we can rewire our brains in order for the self-talk to be different. So instead of oh that happened - I am such a failure, it becomes I made a mistake and what can I learn from it? ”

Today Caggie is joined by Sophie Dear; a wellness mentor, podcast host and yoga instructor who embarked on a transformative journey from a career in the TV industry to living full time in Bali. This conversation is insightful, educational and incredibly inspiring as Sophie shares with Caggie her previous struggles with insomnia and anxiety and opens up about how experiencing burnout in her career eventually led to leaving the TV Industry she had thrived in for years. For many of us, ignoring burnout in pursuit of career success is an unhealthy habit that seems to be celebrated in many ways, coined as ‘the hustle culture’ phenomenon.

During our Saturn Return one of the most important challenges is often the self-reflection of looking inwards at our relationship with self and addressing the patterns or habits which no longer serve us. Caggie and Sophie discuss the importance of self-worth, challenging limiting beliefs and understanding the profound influence of our inner critic. They also expand on navigating the intricacies of masculine and feminine energies; unveiling the societal pressure to conform to ‘traditional’ roles without questioning the why behind a desire for partnership or motherhood. Sophie shares some final insight into the power of affirmations, shifting our mindsets and showing up for yourself.
