At I AM HOPE we’re about
normalising the inner critic
The voice inside all of our heads that has
us second-guessing everything we do.
The voice of doubt that beats us up and
tells us we’re failures, that we’re worthless.
Having an overactive inner critic is not a
 sign of mental illness, it’s a sign that we are normal.
