About this listen
As children, we dreamt of the wonderful things we were going to do when we were grown-ups.
Now that we’re grown-ups, why aren’t we out there, living the lives of our dreams?
This fun and original guide will teach you how to bypass your self-doubt and take ACTION.
Using her experience as a storyteller, broadcaster, and (undercover) life-coach, Clare Bowditch collaborates with neuroscientist Dr Charlotte Keating to detail useful Cognitive Behavioural Therapy concepts that will help you tame your inner critic. With practical steps and Clare’s trademark humour and intimate storytelling style, Tame Your Inner Critic will teach you the skills to retrain your brain and achieve your big fat dreams.
Clare Bowditch is an ARIA award-winning musician, a Logie award-nominated actor, and has been named Rolling Stone Woman of the Year for her contribution to culture. In 2019 Clare Bowditch released her debut best-selling memoir, Your Own Kind of Girl, which was short-listed for Australian Audiobook of the Year, and won an ABIA for Best New Australian Writer. In 2010, Clare overcame her Gen-Xer cynicism and trained to become a life coach with a specialty in teaching big-hearted humans how to overcome their self-doubt. Since then she’s had the pleasure of sharing speaking bills with the likes of Brené Brown and Marianne Williamson, where she is best known for teaching large audiences to overcome their collective terror of public singing, and sing anyway, in three part harmony, in fifteen minutes or less.

Story
In January 2019, culture writer Anne Helen Petersen set the internet on fire with her viral BuzzFeed essay diagnosing “millennial burnout” - a chronic state of stress and exhaustion that’s become a “base temperature” for young people today. Now, she continues this generation-defining conversation in a brand-new format, interviewing millennials around the country about their own deeply personal experiences with burnout, and the culture that creates it.

Story
If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Story
If you were ever a teenage girl - or if you’ve even known a teenage girl - you may know it’s a difficult time, often riddled with insecurities, anxiety, and depression. And while adolescent boys often face similar emotions, research shows that females are more likely to be predisposed to depression. Over the course of 10 lessons, Dr. Karen Bluth offers a solution: self-compassion. She explores why self-compassion is a good thing - a resource that people can learn, put in their toolbox, and use whenever they have a challenging day or even a challenging moment.

Not a fan of the sound effects.
The material itself has some pretty useful information, but I was not a fan of the sound effects and playful banter. I found it to be quite annoying and distracting, but I guess everyone is different.

Solid advice. Immensely fun.
5 chapters, all under 30 minutes, but solid advice for dealing with your inner critic. I was shocked to find that my inner critic is a mean five year old named Jimbo.

Some good tips
I wasn’t excited about the way it was presented. Some things were repetitive or lingered to get to the point. It’s set up more like a podcast. So the style might appeal to someone else more than it did for me. However, I did enjoy some if the tips and activities they presented in this book/podcast 5 part series.

A great eye opening listen
Nobody likes to admit they aren't kind to themselves. Clare and the gang make self help and self awareness light and humorous while still hitting home with the feels and brain science. I listened to this like a year ago and recently became aware that I was using the info so I had to listen again. And just like Clare says at the end, (spoiler alert) they were still there for me. Thanks for making it easier to remember to love myself. Good on ya.
