Why Artists are So Hard on Themselves and How to Show yourself Compassion as a Performer

If you would never speak to a friend the way you speak to yourself before a performance, this episode is for you. We dig into why artists and performers tend to have the loudest inner critics, why trying to suppress that voice only makes it worse, and how to open the floor to something far more powerful: self-compassion.

We will explain why trying to banish the inner critic completely isn’t the solution, and introduce a powerful tool to help you access that voice of compassion right before you walk onstage.

We close with a guided breathwork and visualization to help you quiet the critic, connect to your compassionate self, and walk in feeling ready.
