I am Mantuana with Patricia Manley
Bienvenida a I Am Mantuana, el podcast donde las mujeres inmigrantes nos volvemos a creer lo poderosas que somos.
Soy Patricia Manley: mujer en tech, mamá neurodiversa, speaker internacional y coach de carrera para mujeres latinas que están listas para dejar de sobrevivir en su trabajo… y empezar a avanzar con estrategia, autenticidad y alma.
Aquí hablamos de lo que realmente pasa cuando emigras:
✔️ Cuando te sientes invisible aunque tengas mil talentos
✔️ Cuando tu voz tiembla en reuniones, aunque sepas de sobra lo que estás haciendo
✔️ Cuando te preguntas si de verdad vale la pena tanto esfuerzo...
Y la respuesta es SÍ.
Porque ser inmigrante no es una desventaja es tu superpoder.
En cada episodio te traigo historias reales, herramientas prácticas y conversaciones sin filtro sobre mindset, marca personal, liderazgo, salud mental y más. Siempre desde nuestra perspectiva: la de mujeres que cruzaron fronteras, pero no están dispuestas a dejar atrás su ambición.
Escúchalo con tu café, tu te o tu copa de vino. Pero eso sí: prepárate para sanar tu relación contigo misma, creértela otra vez y tomar el espacio profesional que te corresponde.
💥 Este es tu recordatorio semanal de que sí puedes y no estás sola.
I am Mantuana with Patricia Manley
Episode 53 - I can't stop sabotaging myself
We all have an inner voice that expresses criticism, frustration, or disapproval of our actions. However, despite living with us throughout our lives and being our ally, it can become our worst enemy.
When we talk about self-sabotage, our inner voice is the cause of this tendency, where we sabotage ourselves and hinder our achievements or goals; all this comes unconsciously. Therefore, our job to overcome it is to be aware of it.
Welcome to the third season of I Am Mantuana, the podcast. This episode's topic is self-sabotage—I'll be explaining and teaching you how to get rid of it. Also, I will share tips that were very useful to me in my struggle with self-sabotage so you can apply them in your life too.
Stopping the self-sabotage cycle is not easy. It requires commitment and perseverance, but you are not alone; you can do it. If this is your struggle, I hope you find this episode helpful.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
[5:13] What is the critical inner voice?
It is the culprit of our negative and harmful thoughts. Although sometimes it seems that it tries to protect us, in most cases, it is just sabotaging us in different aspects of our lives. You have to learn how to deal with it.
[13:43] Can I get rid of my inner critic?
You will find different opinions on this topic. However, I think we can't. We should learn how to live with it because it will remain with us forever.
[16:50] Be aware of your inner voice.
From here, we start with the tips and advice segment, and this one is the most important. We must learn to be aware of that voice inside us to prevent it from filling our minds with negative thoughts that may end up sabotaging us.
[18:43] Put a name and a body to your inner critic.
Call me crazy, but this is an important step. This exercise will help us free ourselves from an identity that does not reflect who we really are.
[23:27] Ask yourself, are these thoughts true?
One of the biggest mistakes we make, is believing that everything our inner voice says is true. It is necessary to ask ourselves this question as part of the process to stop the self-sabotage cycle in our lives.
[25:14] Find out what triggers your inner critic.
In this process, we must be aware of those circumstances that trigger our inner critic so that when we go through it again, we are prepared and can take action at the time.
[25:57] Turn those thoughts into something positive.
I know it is hard to articulate positive words to ourselves, but we must give to us the affection and love we give others. As people say, we cannot love others without loving ourselves. Every time a negative thought comes, turn it into something positive and make this a daily practice for at least a month.
QUOTES
● "Dance around your inner critic."
● "Consistency is the key."
