Masterclass Series: Calm Your Inner Critic

Reduce the noise of self-doubt and trust yourself so you can move through life with more freedom
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own head…
Held yourself back because you weren’t quite sure you were ready…
Experienced that quiet but persistent voice telling you to do more, be better, or not mess it up…
Or simply wished you could quiet the constant commentary that keeps you from fully being yourself…
Then you already know how much this inner dynamic shapes your confidence, your decisions, and the way you show up in your life.
And if you’ve been on your personal development journey for a while, you may have noticed that trying to push past it, override it, or “think more positively” only takes you so far… and often leaves you feeling stuck in the same patterns.
That’s exactly why the Expanding You team, Lynn Sumida, Jeff Brown, and Leslie Brown, have designed a different approach. They move beyond trying to control or override your thoughts because that’s not the root cause. Instead, they work with the nervous system and the body, where your inner critic is shaped, so the shift toward confidence and self-trust feels grounded, sustainable, and true to you.
Glasser Canada is excited to host this NEW masterclass series facilitated by Lynn Sumida and in partnership with the Expanding You team, designed to help you understand what’s really driving that inner voice and shift your relationship with it in a way that creates real relief.
Inside this experience, you will:
- Develop a deeper understanding of how your inner critic operates and the role it’s been trying to play, so you can begin to transform your relationship with your inner critic.
- Unlock the key to self-compassion so you can relate to yourself with more understanding instead of pressure. Moving beyond intellectual understanding, you’ll learn how to access self-compassion in real moments, so it becomes something you can feel and rely on without your inner critic taking over.
- Build the internal capacity to access your best self, even in moments of doubt or challenge, so your confidence is no longer dependent on pushing through or “faking it,” but instead grows from a more grounded, consistent way of showing up over time.
You’ll also receive a guided workbook that walks you through a proven process to uncover the inner workings of your inner critic and begin designing your own pathway to freedom between sessions.
And because we are serious about partnering with you to create meaningful change in your life, you can expect to walk away with:
- A growing sense of ease as you release from your whole being the constant push, perfectionism, and need to control every outcome
- A deeper feeling of peace within (regardless of the chaos outside) as you quiet the voice that once sabotaged you
- More access to joy as expectations soften and you begin to experience life with more freedom and self-assurance in your authentic self
