Description

I started as a women’s life & mindset coach, grew into business mentorship, and built a top podcast—but it didn’t happen because of a fancy degree. After a BA in Interpersonal Communications and a certification from the Integrative Wellness Academy, I still heard crickets. What changed? Personal development (Tony Robbins’ UPW), brave decisions, and a lot of imperfect action.

In this episode, I break down the five fears that keep high-achieving women stuck in lives that “look good on paper” but don’t feel good:

  • Fear of judgment (the perceived opinions holding you back)
  • Fear of failure (and why the only way to fail is to quit)
  • Golden handcuffs (comfort that’s still… handcuffs)
  • Identity tied to achievement (rules you outgrew)
  • Waiting for permission / fear of the unknown (swapping “leap of faith” for repeatable steps of faith)

You’ll learn the reframes and actions I used to go from people-pleasing to purpose: the “What if best-case scenario?”mindset, letting fear ride passenger while you drive, and how I went from certificate to six-figure coaching business in one year (and later, master coach on a top show).

Listen if: you’re a new or aspiring coach, a corporate girlie ready to pivot, or a mom/high-achiever who knows you’re made for more.
Takeaway: You don’t need a perfect plan—just the next brave step. Brick by brick, you can rewrite the resume and build a life that actually feels good.

If this hits, share it with a friend and leave a quick review—it helps more women find the show. 💛
