About this episode
"Taking Control of Your Inner Critic: Shut It Down and Step Up"
You say you want change. You dream about it, plan for it, even talk about it. But when the moment comes to actually take the leap? You hesitate. You stall. You resist. Sound familiar?
In this episode of Bounce Back Better, Hilary Saxton dives into the sneaky ways we sabotage our own growth—why we cling to comfort zones that no longer serve us and how to break free from the fear that keeps us stuck. Through relatable stories and actionable strategies, Hilary will show you how to embrace change, reframe discomfort, and finally step into the life you’re meant for.
💡 Your inner critic thrives on keeping you "safe"—but safe isn’t the same as happy.
💡 Growth feels uncomfortable because it’s new—but new doesn’t mean bad.
💡 The secret to moving forward? Stop waiting for the perfect moment—it doesn’t exist.
💡 The change you want is on the other side of the action you’re avoiding.
