"I'm not good enough." "I always mess things up." "Why can't I get anything right?" What if those thoughts aren't actually yours? In this week's Tammy's Takes , Tammy builds on a powerful insight from her conversation with transformational guide Isabelle Chiara and explores how the voices we heard growing up often become the voice we hear inside our own heads.

In this episode you'll learn: ✔️ Why children borrow the voices around them ✔️ How those voices become your nervous system's default setting ✔️ Why affirmations sometimes don't work ✔️ The connection between childhood trauma and your inner critic ✔️ One simple exercise that can begin changing your relationship with yourself today If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, anxiety, people-pleasing, or self-doubt, this episode will help you understand why—and more importantly, what you can begin doing differently. Mentioned in this Episode Be sure to listen to Tammy's interview with Isabelle Chiara , where she shares her powerful Nourish philosophy and discusses healing through changing the conversations we have with ourselves.
