How to Silence Self-Doubt | Rosi Greenberg
What do you do when that little negative voice in your head won’t shut up? If you’re author Rosi Greenberg, you give that voice a name — Sam — and draw him into existence in a Shel Silverstein-esque book full of weird, whimsical creatures and raw emotional truths. In this episode, we explore self-doubt through the character of Sam, Rosi’s inner critic, and the surprising ways she learned to embrace him — expanding her creativity, resilience, and capacity for empathy along the way.
As a leadership development expert and artist, Rosi helps people name, visualize, and befriend their own inner critics in order to lead with more emotional honesty and self-awareness. We dig into the behavioral science and narrative framing behind her work, how creativity becomes a tool for self-repair, and why reframing our inner monologue is essential for personal growth and sustainable leadership. With warmth and insight, she reminds us that our harshest inner voices often just want to protect us.
If you’ve ever wrestled with self-doubt or felt held back by perfectionism, this conversation will offer a refreshing new perspective. So put your inner critic on mute for a moment — and join us for this deeply human episode of Behavioral Grooves.
