Silencing Self-Criticism: Turning Inner Conflict Into Care and Compassion

Hello beautiful souls,

Tomorrow is the final class in our 9-week LAVA Essentials series, and it is a powerful one:

Silencing Self-Criticism: Turning Inner Conflict Into Care and Compassion

Self-criticism has been so normalized that most of us don’t even question it anymore. We treat it like motivation, discipline, or “just being honest.” But the truth is, self-criticism is one of the most destructive silent saboteurs there is. It erodes confidence, fuels shame, and keeps us locked in an internal war that no one can win.

You cannot love yourself unconditionally while beating yourself up at the same time.

Self-criticism and self-love cannot coexist.

In trauma recovery circles, self-criticism has even been likened to emotional cutting. It is a form of self-harm that happens quietly, internally, and relentlessly. And it ends here.

This class is about putting an end to that inner violence and learning how to replace judgment with care, compassion, and truth. This is where the inner war ends and real self-love begins.

Important scheduling note:
We usually meet on Thursdays, but because of Christmas, we are meeting Tuesday, December 22 instead.

Important Class Note
Gentle Reminder: To honor the sacredness of our community and to create a safe space for real connection and safety, we gather as a camera-on group. When we can see one another, we can support one another. It allows us to heal together, and feel held in the kind of community every soul deserves. Come as you are. We do not care about your hair, your makeup, how tired you are, or what you wear. What matters is your presence, your heart, and your willingness to show up for yourself and others.

What’s Next
After this class, I will be taking an indefinite break from LAVA Essentials and focusing on the LAVA Mastery Community.

Also, stay tuned as I will be introducing an exciting new program, The LAVA Life Mastery Academy, where self-love becomes your powerful identity and a way of life, not just a concept.

If self-criticism has been running your inner world, this class is for you.
If you are tired of fighting yourself, this is your invitation to choose peace.

If you are ready to end the inner war, come join us on Tuesday, December 22.

With holiday joy and gratitude,
