say YES to yourself! | Midlife Reinvention & Empowerment for Women

Losing the Inner Critic and Choosing Joy | Sue Erhart

Episode 234

Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and anyone navigating life after divorce, burnout, or big transitions. If you're ready to shed cultural expectations, reconnect with your true self, and put your joy first—you’re in the right place.

What if the voice holding you back… wasn’t even yours?

In this inspiring and soul-nourishing conversation, Wendy is joined by Sue Erhart, author of Lose Your Inner Critic for Good. After years of following the rules, chasing success, and trying to please everyone else, Sue found herself burnt out, unfulfilled, and disconnected from her own joy. Through deep inner work, spiritual reawakening, and learning to trust herself again, she transformed her life from the inside out.

They explore:

  • How to recognize the voice of your inner critic, and stop mistaking it for truth
  • What changes when joy becomes a non-negotiable
  • The magnetic power of owning your desires and releasing the performance

This is a conversation for anyone ready to release perfectionism, reclaim their joy, and rewrite their next chapter with intention.
