Summary
In this episode, Melissa Eich discusses the fear of failure and how it often leads to self-sabotage, particularly in the context of wellness and health. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the nervous system's role in these patterns and reframing past attempts at health as learning experiences rather than failures. The conversation explores the freeze response, especially in women, and how it can hinder progress. Melissa advocates for compassion over criticism, the significance of taking baby steps, and building sustainable habits. She also addresses the fear of success and the need for a supportive environment to foster growth and healing.
