ABOUT THIS EPISODE
After a fall, a missed deadline, or a meeting that goes sideways, there's a voice that usually gets the first word: you should have known better. For most high-achieving leaders, that voice has been running so long it sounds like the truth, and it's quietly making decisions on their behalf. Picking up where the last episode left off, Dr. Seema makes the case that how you talk to yourself isn't a private matter of mood — it's where your decisions and beliefs come from, and it shapes how you see everyone around you.
It's a short episode built around one difference she noticed in herself, and a pointed question for you: what would you hear if you actually listened to the voice in your head for one ordinary day? Dr. Seema explores why capable, accomplished people are so quick to turn on themselves, why a decision made from shame or the need to prove something is a different decision than one made from a whole, integrated place, and why that same voice shows up in how you judge the people you lead and love.
If you've ever made a call you later realized was really about proving something, press play before your next commute.
