smart women have really smart inner critics (& that's the problem)
Note to self: your brain can make an incredible argument... and still be completely wrong.
If you're analytical, ambitious, self-aware, and constantly trying to grow, your inner critic probably doesn't sound irrational. It sounds thoughtful. It cites evidence. It notices patterns. It builds compelling arguments for why you're behind, not good enough, or should play it safe.
And that's EXACTLY wh
