Fear of Success
When I first heard this phrase, Fear of Success, it was a lightbulb moment for me. A lot of what you hear today is my personal lived experience because I teach through experiential storytelling. I find that those who are drawn to listen to specific episodes will hear something through my experiences that really resonates and lands. Hopefully, that will spark and ignite change in your lives. That’s why I do what I do.
Fear has ruled my life for so long. I’m going to be 40 years old next month, and I feel like I’m still coming into my adulthood. A lot of people probably feel the same. It’s the cusp between who you were, and who you are to become. It feels like destiny territory!
