EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Ethan Kross and Chris Williamson, How To Improve Your Inner Voice - Ethan Kross explores harnessing Your Inner Voice: From Mental Chatter To Helpful Coach Ethan Kross explains the “inner voice” as a mental Swiss Army knife that supports memory, planning, self-control, and meaning-making—but also easily turns into destructive “chatter” of worry and rumination.
