Ep 4. Why Quitting Self-Criticism Is the Most Important Success Strategy | Self-Compassion for Growth

 Do you ever feel like your inner critic is holding you back? I know I’ve been there, and in today’s episode of Success Reimagined with Amna Shabbir, MD, I’m sharing why self-compassion is the ultimate strategy for achieving success.

We often think being hard on ourselves will push us to do better, but research shows the opposite. Self-criticism leads to procrastination, burnout, and lower confidence. On the other hand, self-compassion rewires your brain, boosts emotional resilience, and helps you grow both personally and professionally.

In this episode, I’ll help you:
✅ Understand the neuroscience of self-compassion and how it impacts your brain and mental health.
✅ See why self-compassionate people are more likely to take risks and succeed.
✅ Learn practical steps to quiet your inner critic and start being kinder to yourself today.

I’ll also share insights from Dr. Kristin Neff’s groundbreaking research, which proves that self-compassion isn’t a weakness—it’s a strength that helps you thrive.
