Silencing the Inner Critic and Stepping Into Your Voice
In a world that often encourages us to play it safe, stay small, and second-guess our brilliance, Playing Big by Tara Mohr is a powerful guide for anyone ready to do the deeper inner work of showing up fully and unapologetically.
Mohr’s approach isn’t about hustle or hype it’s about returning to your inner knowing, quieting the voice of fear, and learning to trust your own wisdom. At the heart of the book is her framework for identifying and gently disarming the inner critic, a voice many of us have internalized so deeply that we mistake it for truth. With compassion and clarity, she invites readers to differentiate between the voice of self-doubt and the quieter, wiser voice within the “inner mentor.”
Throughout the book, Mohr integrates personal stories, client experiences, and accessible tools that help readers move from hesitation to action. Her reflections on unhooking from praise and criticism, navigating fear, and communicating with clarity and power are particularly relevant for leaders, creatives, and anyone working to align their outer impact with their inner truth.
For coaches, this book offers not just insights, but practices and tools you can use with clients to help them name their inner critic, shift limiting narratives, and play bigger on their own terms. It’s also an ideal companion for those navigating career change, visibility blocks, or seasons of reinvention.
Playing Big doesn’t promise instant confidence. What it offers instead is something far more sustainable: a grounded, wise, and courageous path toward self-trust.
