Ep. 411 - How to Soothe Your Inner Critic and Feel Safe Being Seen with Tara Mohr

Have you ever wondered whether your biggest dreams are truly yours—or shaped by fear, validation, and old conditioning?
Jessica sits down with bestselling author and TBMer Tara Mohr to explore the powerful distinction between your inner critic and inner mentor. Together, they unpack how we hide from visibility, delay our purpose through perfectionism, and unknowingly play small in pursuit of safety. Tara shares the framework that has helped thousands of women reconnect with their authentic voice and step into greater self-expression, impact, and fulfillment.
From the nervous system's role in self-doubt to reframing feedback and confidence, this episode offers practical tools for anyone ready to be seen—in work, creativity, relationships, and life. Whether you're launching a business, sharing your story, or simply feeling the pull toward a more authentic version of yourself, this conversation is a reminder: your wisdom already lives within you.
