#278: You didn't write that script (but you're the one running it)

Most self-talk content tells you how to change the inner critic. This episode goes somewhere different — tracing where it actually came from. None of your self-talk is originally yours. You borrowed it from instructors, parents, breeders, competitors, score sheets, and a sport culture built on public performance and perfectionism. Once you know that, everything shifts. This episode is about tracing the source, creating distance from thoughts that were never yours to begin with, and deciding what actually belongs in the ring with you.
