We all have an Inner Critic.

Befriend yours today and transform your life.

“If you've ever been besieged by your inner critic while striving to achieve your dreams, Chelsea Forbrook's guide to taming and transforming these demons will not only prove an invaluable guide in how to overcome them, it will also make you laugh — and demons hate being laughed at! Seriously, just about everybody trying to do anything new or good in the world has got this problem — so everyone needs to read this book!”

- Sean W. Murphy, NEA Creative Writing Fellow, Hemingway Award-winning novelist & Zen Meditation Teacher

“You’re not good enough. Why are you even trying? This isn’t going to work out.”

We all have an inner critic. Maybe you’ve tried to push it away, pretend it’s not there, fight against it, numb yourself to it, or appease it with external validation.

What if instead of battling our demons, we tried befriending them? How would they transform if we thanked them for their concern, offered them a warm cup of tea and a kiss on the forehead, and affirmed: “I’ve got this”?

Bringing together lessons from the Enneagram, Buddhism, Contemplative Christianity, and 12 Steps programs, this inner critic book shares powerful tips for how to name it, tame it—and ultimately, transform it.

With relatable humor, lighthearted illustrations, and action-based Inner Work exercises, discover how to understand your inner critic’s motivation through the lens of your unique personality.

Your inner critic can rest easy knowing that you are cared for and carried. It’s time you take back the driver’s seat.

What Chelsea’s demons are saying:

When Imposter Syndrome Strikes
When you know you're right...
When you internalize capitalism...
When you see everyone else's faults...
