How Do You Silence the Inner Critic - When It's Not Just Yours?

Today is the Day Changemakers

Welcome to the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.

How can speaking with true intention toward ourselves and others not only calm the ego, but nourish the spirit?

Today on Today is the Day Changemakers, I’m joined by Kalyani Pardeshi, a multi award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and Canada’s only certified Flowcess Trainer. Kalyani helps people embrace their true selves by identifying and dissolving two often-ignored causes of burnout: self-bullying and living outside their intrinsic motivators.

Her powerful book, Beyond the Inner Critic: Understanding and Conquering Your Conscious and Unconscious Bullies, won the International Impact Award for Self-Help within four months of publication. She’s been featured on CTV Morning Live, Global News Calgary, and QR Calgary Radio, and continues to inspire schools, organizations, and communities across North America.

Today’s episode dives into how seemingly harmless jokes or offhand comments—especially when directed inward—can do lasting harm. Kalyani shares how both external bullying and the inner critic shaped her journey, and how presence, self-awareness, and accountability can become tools for personal and collective healing.
