Have you ever noticed those competing voices in your head? The one that spirals into doubt, questioning your progress, and another that whispers wisdom and reassurance? During a peaceful evening by my cottage fireplace, I experienced this familiar internal dialogue - what I call my &quot;Woe&quot; and &quot;Wow&quot; voices. This episode explores how to recognise these distinct inner voices and strengthen the wise, powerful &quot;Wow&quot; voice that often gets drowned out by our noisy inner critic.  I share a profound revelation that changed everything for me: &quot;You&apos;ll know you&apos;re there not when you&apos;re rich, but when you stop needing money to prove you&apos;re worthy of being heard.&quot; This insight applies beyond finances to any external validation we desperately seek. The transformation happens when we realise that money (or any measure of success) doesn&apos;t respond to begging or desperation. These resources want to build with us, not rescue us. Becoming your empowered &apos;Wow&apos; self requires courage rather than confidence, changing on the inside before seeing evidence on the outside. Most people who seem to &quot;make it&quot; don&apos;t feel any more ready than anyone else - they&apos;ve simply stopped waiting for the world to crown them and claimed their role first.Follow me on Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/merilyn/'>@merilyn</a> Website: <a href='https://www.merilyn.com/'>merilyn.com</a> Join the <a href='https://www.merilyn.com/tallpoppy'>Tall Poppy Society</a>
