How To Fire Your Inner Critic and Improve Your Self-Worth

Lessons for Life With Gramma Kate

That little voice in your head that says, “you’re not enough”? It’s not the truth — it’s your inner critic, and it doesn’t deserve to run your life. In this episode, I share how self-awareness helps you recognize when self-worth is running low, the difference between self-worth and self-esteem, and my own story of learning to stop people-pleasing and start valuing myself. You’ll also learn seven daily habits that strengthen self-worth — practical, simple steps you can start today.

Whether you’re a parent trying to model self-worth for your kids or someone ready to quiet that harsh inner voice, this episode will give you tools to believe, “I am enough.”

Key Takeaways

✅ Self-worth is your core belief that you matter — self-esteem is confidence in your abilities.

✅ You can have high self-esteem but low self-worth (and vice versa).

✅ Self-awareness is the first step in recognizing when your inner critic is running the show.

✅ Building self-worth happens through small, daily habits — not big breakthroughs.

✅ Kids learn self-worth by watching how you treat yourself, not by what you tell them.
