Fear is an emotion induced by a threat. That threat can be real or it can be imagined.  The only way to permanently overcome your fear is to accept that fear is always going to be a part of your life and that, like any other emotion, you can’t stop yourself from feeling it. Identify the causes of your fears and confront them in the most direct possible way.

On this episode, Coco-Chi is talking about the inner voice and how to manage the negative self-talk. Our past experiences, even the things we don't usually think about, are all alive and active in our daily life in the form of an inner voice - our self-talk.  Everyone has an inner voice...sometimes this inner voice lies to you and fills you up with negativity. What lies are you telling yourself on a daily basis? Could your inner voice be holding you back?  Are you allowing too much negativity in? Your inner voice is your harshest critic and the one that will lower your self-esteem the quickest. What can you do to silence that negative noise/self-talk? Listen to the show & learn all about it!P.S: Please don't forget to review, rate and subscribe on Apple podcast.
