Silence The Lies. Speak Your Truth. Rewire Your Mind.
by Aaron B Kershaw
Silence the Critic. Rewire the Loop. Reclaim the Voice That Leads You.
Not every voice in your head belongs to you.
Some were planted by fear, failure, or people who never believed in you to begin with.
Who’s Talking In Your Head? is Book 6 in the Built from the Inside series—a trauma-informed SEL guide for justice-impacted individuals, system-affected families, and anyone who’s tired of their own thoughts tearing them down.
This book is not about fake positivity. It’s about calling out the toxic voice in your head, challenging where it came from, and replacing it with one that actually leads you forward.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
Identify whose voice is actually running your choices
Flip the loops that feed shame, hesitation, and self-doubt
Replace inner critics with trained inner coaches
Rebuild a mental framework grounded in evidence and truth
Create an Inner Voice Reset Plan that keeps your head aligned with your healing
Each chapter includes:
A personal story from Uncle Aaron
3 core mindset lessons
A real case study from lived experience
Tools like the Loop Flip Chart, Thought Reframe Script, and Voice Audit
Exercises and a Capstone Project: Your Inner Voice Reset Plan
If you’ve ever heard yourself say, “I can’t,” “I always mess up,” or “What’s the point?”—this book is the pattern interrupt you’ve been needing.
You can’t change your life if you’re still thinking with someone else’s voice.
It’s time to take the mic back.
