Today we're talking about
taming your inner critic, shifting the
story, and changing your
life. I have a very special guest with me
here today, Krista Powell, on the
Movement, Mind and Meaning podcast. I'm
excited to welcome her on here in a
moment. Hello. HelloGreat to have
you. Thank you so much. I'm so excited to
be here. Yay. Awesome. Awesome.
Awesome. All right, so before we jump in,
I will let you know that this episode is
being sponsored by the brand new mini
book to Stop Anxious Overthinking. So
that will be linked up in the show notes
as well. Totally free for you to grab
that. And as well, I know Krista has a
gift for us too, and she will share more
about that at the end of our episode
conversation together today. But make
sure to grab both of those because
they're both full of so much goodness.
And Speaking of goodness. Krista is
a pleasure strategist and we would love
to know more about you. People can read
your bio and all the things they get,
cause I know you love learning. Every
time I text you, you're like I'm doing a
thing on the weekend. And I'm like, I
love how much you love learning. So yay,
gold star. But take us to a moment
in your life where you had one of
those. Oh man, I got it. This
is whoa, what's happening?Or it can be
one of those. Yay, this is amazing. And
it's. A moment that has led you to
doing what you do
now and sharing your gifts the way you're
sharing them. Yes. And there's so
many places that I could start this
story, but let's just do it at at I'm
going to start in college. I'm going to
start in college when I started
to have boy problems, right?
You're You're in, you're on your own.
Things don't go quite as smoothly as you
think. And suddenly I found I had this
superpower. I had this voice in my head
that would create a story and lead me
down the worst case scenario. And I
thought, oh, like, I'm ready for anything
now. If I prepare for the worst, then I
will like, I'll be in great shape. But
what I didn't know was that this voice in
my head would live with me for many,
many, many years. And what I thought was
my best friend was actually something
that was holding me back. And once I
learned that I could shut that voice off,
that I could change the script, then I
found that I could connect to the people
I love so much more. And that's when I
wanted to start teaching other women.
to get out of their head, get into their
body, to turn off that critic,
and to start rewriting the script of
their lives. Yes.
Oh, my goodness. So put both hands
up if you can relate.
Oh, hey. For
those of you exclusively audio right now,
we're both laughing and waving our hands
in the air, or which I was.
Yes. So yeah,
interesting, right?How many of us can
relate to this, the chatter of the
collective in our head. And you know, one
of the things that you said that really
struck me that I super align with cause I
always talk about the characters in our
head and how it's like a play and we get
to watch these characters and you know
what the main ones are and that like you
said that that relentless critical
overthinking, oh, make me feel like shit
sort of thing that so many of us just
think is is us. Right. And
it's such an interesting phenomenon. And
that's where, you know, practices that
you share and practices like yoga, for
example, help us to realize that we are
not our thoughts. But many people just
live their whole life. And I did for a
long time. And it sounds like you did
too, just like listening to this barrage
of chatter in our head. That's just.
Greasing the slippery slope of sadness
and anxiety and stress and all the things
that we are really specifically focusing
on here on this show. And so I love that
you're going to be sharing some more
experiences and mind and body tools, and
you're going to take us through a really
powerful clearing practice that you sneak
peeked with me earlier. And I was like,
Oh my God, I love this. So let's talk
about that, about how
this voice. Isn't
truly our own?
Or where does it come from?
Or how can we begin to just pay
attention to it and not get caught up by
it?Like, let's start there. Talk to us
about that, please. Yes. Well, I will
say, like you said, I lived with it for a
very long time, thinking that this is
just what everybody heard inside of them
that. We all that this is just me. I
didn't realize it was a separate entity.
I I thought it was just me. And
then I learned that, of course, our
unconscious mind goes
into OverDrive and it's always trying to
keep us safe. It's always trying to keep
us alive. And sometimes it takes
shortcuts. And those shortcuts include
making tremendous assumptions about the
information that it's receiving. And
sometimes there's some faulty
connections. And and that's where the
beauty lies. Once we pay attention to
that voice in our head, we can make a
choice and we can make a choice of do we
want to keep going with the same dialogue
or do we act as a director and we say cut
that like we're changing the script,
we're going to go in a different
direction. What I realized was that
somewhere over the years, it was probably
20 years after college, I was
lying in bed one morning. Husband was
beside me. Kids were asleep in the other
room. The dog was on the floor. I was
literally surrounded by people who loved
me, and I couldn't figure out why
I felt so alone. I just
felt like no
one really saw me, no one really knew me,
and I was just really curious as to what
was going on. And that's when I realized
that this voice in my head. Had not only
been talking to me, but had been helping
me create boundaries and walls around me
to keep me closed off from the people
that I love, right?It was like, well,
this part of you, it may not be that
attractive. It may not be your most
lovable part. So let's just close it off
so that nobody can see it. And
when you start to build these little
invisible walls around you, the
people around you realize that they can
sense there's something. That is stopping
them from truly connecting with your
heart, with your soul. And so there's
this gap of communication. There's this
gap of connection.
And that's where the magic happens. When
we can start to break down those walls,
when we can start to be vulnerable, we
can start to open up and share
our true selves with the people we love.
Everything shifts.
Umm Yeah, beautiful. And so.
What I'm hearing you say is that that
that first step is becoming
aware of that voice, right?And and
recognizing that if we can hear that and
we can listen to it, then we aren't
that right. And like you said, we can be
the director and say cut, we're going a
different way. And so that's
so powerful to be able to
have that level of awareness first and
foremost, but that level of.
agency and recognizing that we
get to bring all those parts back,
right?And like you said, we we tend to
wall those parts off. And especially, I
think it's worth mentioning, is that for
so many people, there is oftentimes when
it comes to these challenges that
anxiety and depression can present,
there's a lot of widespread societal
shame and stigma around them that we
internalize, right?And so we really wall
those parts of ourself off. And then
that'sThat really adds fuel to the
fire as far as how lonely we
feel. And so was that part of your
experience as well?Absolutely. I
think that shame was a big part
of why the walls were built. I mean,
we're told so many messages in society
about how we should look, like where we
should be in our life. Are we progressing
as we think?And then if we don't think
we're keeping up with what is expected of
us, that is a tremendous opportunity
for. For a wall to come up, for shame to
come up, for those stories to come in our
head, whether whether they're
whispers or whether they're incredibly
loud voices, they impact us.
Yeah, yeahAnd I laughed. I was muted, but
I laughed because I'm like, whispers. Are
you whispers?Because mine are like,
sometimes they're whispers.
Sometimes they're like catty little
asides that you, you know, from like, I'm
thinking of like Steel Magnolias when
some of the ladies with the older ladies
were gossiping and like, sometimes that's
what my voice sounds like. It's just a
sweet little whisper. But yes, other
times they're like megaphones, like
everybody can see that you're not doing
right. Yeah, right. Yeah. The
snarky ones tend to be like a little bit
undertone and a little bit, you know, not
the obnoxious ones, at least in my brain
are like. The Angry Seagull
Collective and just, you know, but
you hit on something there is that it's
in our head, right?And and yes, of
course there's there's a somatic
component to every felt sense and
experience and feeling and and
emotions that we have. But when we're
talking about the inner critic and that
inner dialogue, that really. You know,
it's just chattering away like a little
monkey up there, you knowAnd so how
can we begin to like we
started with shift the story and change
our life. Like we one of the things about
modern life is that it is very
cerebral, right. It's very like we got to
do, we got to do, you know and and that
that pressure again external, internal
and really. Can weigh a lot on us
and demands a lot on us. So I know that
this is something that you really speak
to a lot and and we can go there
now as to like what do you think the
effects of this modern reality that we
all live in like as far as being in
contact with these parts and learning
about ourselves like do you think it sets
us up for success or no.
Well, if we pay attention to it, it's it,
it gives us a tremendous edge because.
Most of us in Western society are geared
to be action people. We're doing all the
time. We have huge to do lists. We are
always like reaching for something more.
And when we can partner that
with what you said, that somatic sense,
that sense of of taking the pauses
through the day of when we notice that
chatter in our head to hit the pause
button and and redirect our attention to
our body and be like, OK, I know what the
dialogue is in my head. Where am I
feeling that in my body?And what do I
want to do with this information?How do I
need to express it?How do I need to
acknowledge it?How do I need to validate
it so that I can move on?Because
we're not about, like, suppressing these
thoughts that come up. We want to honor
them. We just want to make a decision of
whether we're going to, like, carry them
with us or whether we're going to say
thank you for this message and goodbye.
Yes, I love that. And and that's one of
the adages in the power pause movement is
to feel the feels and take power pause,
right. And so it's, I love that you said
that because there's so much, especially
in the spiritual realm of high vibe all
the time. Here we go, you know, and it's
like the toxic positivity and just
brushing that over. And and that again, I
feel like it lends to more
of an isolation of these parts that are
simply just asking for recognition and
reintegration. Would you agree?Yes,
absolutely. I think that if we ignore
something, it it probably is going to
come back, right. It's going to keep
coming back. And so we're not. And then
you feel like, well, what is wrong with
me that I can't move past this because
you just you're you're stuck on a
merry-go-round. And it's when we
honor, it's when we share, whether that
is just in your journal or on a voice
note or with a friend or or a
partner and you give voice to it.
That it starts to dissipate and it starts
to lose its hold over you.
Yeah, absolutely. It gives us that
spaciousness, right?It gives us the
opportunity to take a step back and give
perspective. And and yeah, again,
you know, the merry-go-round is such a
beautiful analogy. And I was using a
similar one the other day of. I think it
was, I think it was the teacups, but like
teacups stuck on Mach speed thousand,
you know, remember the teacup ride at
Walt Disney World or whatever. And you're
like spinning in your little teacup and
then you're going around on the thing.
And so that to me is what it feels like
when we're caught up by these, this voice
and this inner critic cause we're
spiraling on one thing, but then we're
just in generally spiraling on a, you
know, whole load of subjects. And so I
love that it's it's such a beautiful
reminder and and a
return to that compassion and
return to love and return to that
recognition that you are so
powerful and you can begin to
rewrite these stories. And it really does
start with that recognition and this
awareness of the thoughts and awareness
of the feelings and and not treating them
as a problem per se, but
as part of the experience, right?And part
of this humanity. And I think that's a
huge part of this work that you're doing
as a pleasure strategist of helping
people to come back into their body. But
also a huge part of the work of this show
and bringing people like yourself on is
to understand that this is common
humanity here we're talking about, right?
Like we're all on the spinny ride, you
know, and we're each in our own teacup.
Yes.
Yeah. And So what do you find that, you
know, really is something that you see a
lot in your work with your clients as far
as classical patterns that
kind of, and I mean, I know we're all
different, but as far as when they come
to you, like what are they really in that
space of help me, please, I'm really
frustrated with this. Like what are they
saying to you that is that that core
need, core challenge?Yeah, I
think that a lot of women, I I work
predominantly with women who who come
into my space are are
just grasping to be seen, to be loved, to
be like fully,
fully held for who they are. And they
don't realize that the reason they're not
fully held for who they are is because
they have been walled off parts of
themselves that they're a little bit
worried about. How they are perceived or
how they look. And so once we start
to open ourselves up to
receiving pleasure, that is assigned to
our body to get off of this
roller coaster in our head, get off the
merry-go-round, slow down and be open to
receiving a new influx
of of information, of data, of
sensory feelings in our environment.
I love that. I love that. And that to me
is, you know, that's it, right?And what
you're speaking to is is very
obvious in like an energetic shift. And
internally what we're doing there is
we're shifting the state of our nervous
system, right?And out of a very reactive
fight or flight or freeze or fawn.
Into that more grounded and centered,
stay and play, rest and digest, tend and
befriend that we is like where we're
thriving, where we're resilient. We're
actually in that place of joy and
appreciation, right?We're in our body and
we're feeling safe in our body. And so I
love that you help people.
To do that. And I know in a moment you're
going to take us through a practice for
that. But is that
something that helps us to begin
to rewrite these
stories?Like what would you say if
there's, you know, Krista's three-step
formula or he probably have a more clever
name for it than that, but as far as
rewriting the story?What do we
begin to do?Obviously recognition and
awareness is the first step, or maybe you
have something else that's before that,
but what do we do
after we acknowledge that there is this
voice?And that we are the
director, that we have ultimate control
over what this voice says. Then there is
a practice of shutting that voice off.
And it may for some people it may be
immediate, and for some people it may be
that you have to keep reminding that
voice that it is no longer in control. So
you're hitting the pause button and then
you're making another choice. So here's
how the here's the story that's coming
into my head. I'm going to hit the pause
button and then you ask what do you want
instead?What do you want in this
moment?Do you want to move
your body?Do you want to connect with
your partner?Do you want to be able to
be joyful with your children?Do you want
to create something amazing
for your business?There is a choice
involved, and it's reminding ourselves
that we have that choice to move forward
with. I love that.
I love that. That's the choice, right?
It's that pattern interrupt. And I know
you are very skilled and also a
practitioner in NLP, which is a huge part
of that, right, is that that recognition
in the redecision. And again, it's like
we're at, you know, it's a pivotal moment
because we're either going down that
pathway and we're pressing go on the
spinning cup ride or we are pausing
there and saying, oh, here we are again,
here's that thought again, no. We're
going a different way, right?And
neurologically, what we're doing there is
we're literally shifting brain activity.
We are choosing a new neural pathway,
right?You're choosing that in your
behavior, in your focus, but in your
brain, that's really what's happening,
right?It's like a fork in the road and we
can go down that well-worn path or we can
pause, right?That's where taking a power
pause, doing some of the practices that
you're shared, you just shared. That's so
beautiful. And so
let's. I would love to have you
share one of your
powerful energy clearing practices that
helps us to do this. So Krista, would you
be so kind as to walk us through our
power pause?So for those of you on
YouTube who are just jumping in, you're
like, what?Who's this amazing, beautiful
woman?We are talking about taming your
inner critic and shifting the story so
you can change your life. And Krista is
going to now take us deeper into this
whole conversation by guiding us through
a couple minutes of this beautiful
practice. So take it away, darling.
Absolutely. Thank you. So First things
first, ground where you are. Make
yourself feel stable. Let yourself feel
stable. Let yourself feel supported.
Take a big breath in and just let
it out like a balloon.
And then let your breath return to its
normal cadence. And I just
allow yourself to imagine. That there is
a big shower head above you, but
instead of water coming out, it is
cleansing, energetic energy. Whatever
color makes sense to you, just flip the
switch and let it turn on and just
feel as it
hits your head.
Maybe it tingles, maybe it feels warm,
but just feel as the energy, the residue,
whatever was happening in your day,
whatever other people tried. To pass off
on you. Whatever no longer serves you
just runs from your head,
over your nose,
over your cheeks and your chin,
over your shoulders, across your
chest and your back
down your arms. And you can use your arms
to help push it off
down your torso.
Over your hips and knees,
calves and ankles and feet.
Just let that energetic energy flow,
rinsing you, letting go of
all that no longer serves you,
recycling it back into the earth to be
used for other purposes.
And when you feel energized, when you
feel lighter. Just come back into your
body, come back into the present moment,
open your eyes
and feel the shift. I feel the shift.
I feel the shift. I love that. Thank you.
And so we'll come back with a couple more
questions. But while we have you and
for people that are watching just the
YouTube clip, you can definitely come and
watch the full episode. But I know you
have something that would take this a
little bit further for people that you
are wanting to share. Will you share that
now and let us know a little bit about
that?Yes, I think the energetic shower is
a great quick release that you can do
even when you're standing around other
people. Just imagine it in your head when
you want to go to that next layer of
really cutting off the energetic
connections with other people, with past
versions of yourself, with the
past versions of whatever. You can use
my cord cutting meditation that I have
created and this you just listen
to and you allow yourself to be guided
through the process of.
Metaphorically, in your mind, walking
through and severing the energetic
connections that no longer serve you so
that you can relate to the people, to
past versions of yourself, to your
environment in a new, fresh and
better serving way. Love
it. And doesn't she have just the most
like hypnotic voice?So I feel like her
medication would be beautiful for me. So
the link to grab that free gift from
Chrisa will be in the description of the
videos, YouTube, podcast, all the places
in the description. So thank you so much
for that. That was beautiful. And thank
you for that gift for everyone. Yeah, I
love that you said that we can do that
anywhere because I feel as though it's
such a powerful. Reset and
clearing tool. And when you said that
I was picturing cause I do a lot of like
in person networking and you know
and and social events and stuff and and
when you feel somebody's like or you know
intense energy or it's just not your vibe
and you're kind of feel yourself getting
a little some kind of way. And so I feel
as though the fact that you.
Once people practice this and get
comfortable with this, cause we all are
familiar with the sensation of being in
the shower, you know, and feeling that
running down it. So hopefully that's a a
really easy transition for people to
get as an energetic cleansing and
rinsing and clearing. So I love that the
versatility of that. Thank you. Yes,
yesAfter you practice it, you can install
a express wash button so that you just
press your arm and boom, it is done like
goodbye. Thank you. It was nice to, you
know, nice to nice to interact with you,
but that's yours. Yeah,
I love that. Just like, yeah,
yeah, man. I mean, we need all the help
we can get these days. Holy moly. And so
I love that. All right. The energetic
shower. That's super cool. So then, yeah,
as we are wrapping up
as far as when
people are navigating, whether it
is, you know. Anxiety or sadness
or or anything that is really
causing them to feel off or
sad or worried or what have you. Or
they're hearing that that
super critical voice of that
inner story that tends to play out for
people. What is something that has been
really helpful aside from all of these
incredible tools you have shared already?
What has been something really helpful
for you?To use in those moments
as an anchor, as a reminder that
you can share as something that people
can really take away and maybe start to
just lant that seed in their own heart.
Well, I really want people to remember
that pleasure is a practice that that
that this idea of taming our inner credit
is a is a practice. And so if
you start to get frustrated that you're
like I I turned it off and it still keeps
coming back. It's just a reminder that
your brain is is super good at keeping
you safe and it is super, super good at
keeping you like in known patterns and
you just need to be that ever-loving
caring parent and parent
your. your brain to be like, no, we've
talked about this. We're not going to go
down that path. I'm going to literally
hit a pause button and I'm choosing a
different movie today to to lead
into. Thank you.
Yeah, because that can, it's just fuel
for the fire, right?For like, oh, this
again, we're still doing this. My God.
You know?Yeah.
And instead of being hard on yourself,
you can you can just celebrate like how
resilient your brain is to like, keep
going back to these tried and true
patterns and be like, Nope, we're playing
a different game now. Reframe.
Reframe. Yeah, I love it. And that's. And
again, that's that's that can be
challenging to do when we're in the thick
of it, right?Because of the what's
happening inside of our brain. And so
it's having these practices woven
into your day, using the shower, using
the cord cutting meditation that you
shared, listening to tools like this,
connecting with Krista on her social
medias, which will also be in the
description. I love that you said
that because. It's a practice, right?Life
is a school where we learn to remember
what our soul already knows. Like nobody
knows who said that. But it's so powerful
because it's one of those things that of
remembering and it's a returning again
and again, right?And it's, I'm willing to
bet that when the first time you got in a
car to drive, you weren't the same person
driving that you are now, right?It's
become ingrained in you. It's become
practiced in you. And then that goes both
ways, right?These are really great skills
to be able to drive and not be freaking
out the whole time, but also. These these
things that they get hardwired in and
these patterns that we ractice so much
that we start to think that they are who
we are. But it's it's not right. It's a
it's not a mandatory thing and so through
practice. You can get to
get more comfortable with these different
pleasure tactics and and and broadening
your understanding of what that means.
Because a lot of times people think, oh,
pleasuring, well, that's it's sex, right?
Like, is that what you're talking about
here?And so, no, that's what you said is
that it's bringing yourself into the body
and experiencing yourself in a different
way, whatever that might be. And it 1000%
could be sex, right?But you're widening
people's mind on this and I love that.
Yeah, absolutely. Pleasure is in everyday
life. It is how we eat, it is how we
dress, it is how we move in our body. And
it is starting to open the door
to feeling more and more and
more and not just thinking, not just
living in our stories, but bringing it
back down into our body and really
feeling that embodiment of
what what is pleasurable about washing
the dishes, what is pleasurable about
your morning coffee and and taking it to
that next level. And that's it,
right. It's like we we think it's going
to be this big grandiose once I get to
the top of the mountain and I have 800
billion followers and I made $5 million
in the last three seconds. You know, it's
like we have these, these stories that we
build up for ourselves and it's it's the
the journey, you know, another adage of
the it's a journey, not the destination,
right. And So what you're saying is and
which I love is how can we bring more
present moment awareness. Into what we're
doing and experience being alive,
right?And and widening our perspective on
these things and finding that
enjoyment. And so that it
becomes more of what we're dripping into
our day and more of what we're
experiencing, not something that we're
just out there seeking and chasing
and striving and and wanting, right. It's
a big shift. That's a big shift for
people. And I love that you're doing that
big shift that can be achieved through
small steps. And you're right, once we
once we start to receive more
pleasure in those everyday moments, it
translates into the bedroom too. We
can't. We're not two different people
inside and outside of the bedroom. We're
all the same. And so we want to have a
beautiful experience. Yes,
1000 million percent, yes, because that's
really what this life is for, right?And
like. We get this one go around in this
physical body, this this one go around,
you know, and like, you know, whatever
your perspective on past and future
lives, all good timelines. Yep, we're
open for all of it. And so, yes, but in
this moment here and now, in this
physical being of the you that you are in
this moment, it's really meant to be
enjoyed, right?And And when we have these
shadows of sadness and anxiety and stress
that are like clouds, and so it's what
can we begin to do to?
Expand our awareness and come back to
that wholeness and not not think like
this constant obsession with fixing
ourselves and healing ourselves and
upleveling and bettering. And it's like,
God, that's like a relentless pursuit of
self-improvement that can be a very
slippery slope. So I love that you're
helping to change the conversation on
that. You too loving your podcast.
Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. All
right. So we had our energetic
shower. That's amazing. I feel, I feel
refreshed. It's like the brain over here,
you know, Saint Patrick's Day the other
day. So that's why I thought it was
funny. And then, but I did really like
that. Thank you. And so making sure to
grab the free cord. Wow, that's a
lot of words. Cord cutting meditation.
That will be linked up in the show notes
and definitely connecting with Krista on
her socials as well. And I know, are you
mainly on Instagram or what's your what's
your flavor of the social media?I am
primarily on Instagram, but I am on
LinkedIn and threads as well. OK, sweet.
Thank you for that. And then as we
would love you to do is to take a
screenshot and tag us on your
socials to help to spread this word
because this is so important, right?
Mental health is a common thing for all
humans, right?And removing this
stigma and shame that can be so heavy and
and it really hinders our pleasure and it
hinders our joy and it hinders us fully
expressing who we are in every moment,
like Krista so beautifully said so. Help
us to spread the word. We would love and
appreciate that this, you know, human
thing ain't easy. So all the love and
support and connection we can get the
better. And so thank you again, Chris.
It's been really lovely having you on the
show. Thank you, Megan. You're welcome.
All right. So we will see you and hear
you next time. Take good care of
yourself. Make sure that you remember
each day you get to love and enjoy and
love on yourself as much as you can, as
much as you're open to and and really
understand that as we said, this is all
part of the human experience and and
there's it's not a fault. It's not a
flaw. It's, you know, things that we can
be aware of and practice and shift and
come back to that place within yourself
where you remember who you are and
remember how powerful you are and
remember that you can. as we've been
speaking to you, came your inner critic
and to shift the story and change your
life. So thank you so much. Sending
you all the loves and aloha and we will
see you next time. Take care, everybody.
Bye-bye.
