Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to the Hello Tanya Podcast! This week, we explore the concept of "The Roommate" – the negative self-talk or automatic negative thoughts that run in the background, and how to recognise and silence this critical inner voice.• Reframing negative self-talk as a "roommate" – a separate entity from your true self – makes it easier to identify and address• Understanding the difference between your roommate (fear-based thoughts) and your intuition (heart/gut-based wisdom)• Visualisation exercise: mentally put your "roommate" in a box, lock it, and flush the key down a real toilet• Mirror work MomentNext week I'll be talking about inner child work and being kinder to yourself.Production design, intro music and video by Christopher Stratton.
