You Can Quit Smoking is here to challenge that belief. Each episode shares real stories from people just like you who’ve made it to the other side and are now thriving. Tune in for honest, inspiring conversations that remind you that quitting is possible.

EP68: Facing the Inner Critic in Quitting Smoking- Leigh Gall
Leigh knew she was ready to move on from smoking as a young adult, and she managed to quit through sheer discipline. Later on, however, she found herself relying on alcohol to quiet the harsh inner critic in her mind. Through deep self-reflection, curiosity, and hope, Leigh transformed her life by learning to put trust in herself rather than her critic. About Leigh: Leigh Gall is a speaker, executive coach, and host of the podcast This Seems Personal. Before this work, she was a sales executive living the corporate hustle, climbing for the next title and the next number, until she learned the truth she now teaches: the same voice that made her successful was also making her miserable. That is where her work begins. Leigh helps high-functioning people understand the voice in their own head, the inner critic that pushes them hard, keeps them reaching for more, and convinces them they are never quite enough. Most of the patterns we call flaws, she teaches, are really coping mechanisms our bodies built to keep us safe. She helps people see the pattern underneath the behavior and change from a place of self-worth instead of self-punishment. ✨Find Leigh at: https://www.leighgall.com [email protected] 💛 Ready to go deeper?
