IC13 — The Overachiever

Inner Critic Oracle

The Oracle Transmission

You learned to earn your worth by doing.
Accomplishment became oxygen; rest felt like failure.
But the pace is unsustainable — your soul is craving stillness.
This card arrives when ambition becomes avoidance, and your heart whispers: enough.
You were never meant to prove, only to be.

Channelled Message

Your Inner Critic believes success equals safety.

She chases validation to outrun self-doubt.

Tell her:
“I don’t need to earn my own acceptance.”

Then rest — as an act of rebellion.

Embodiment Practice

Lie down.
Place a hand over your heart.

Repeat: “I’m still worthy when I’m still.”
