#91 That Hyper-Critical D*ck That Lives Inside Our Head

In this episode, Max and Matt dive into the complexities of self-criticism and why we’re so hard on ourselves. From feeling like we’re not doing enough to the constant nagging voice that says we’re failing, they break down the science behind those inner thoughts and how they can both push us to succeed and drive us crazy. The dads explore the brain’s Default Mode Network, the fine line between anxiety and excitement, and the paradox of wanting high emotional highs while battling self-doubt. Plus, they share practical strategies to deal with that voice in your head—from framing stress as information to simply cutting yourself some slack. It’s a raw, honest look at how we can stop letting our inner critics sabotage our peace and embrace who we are.
