Many goals we set are met with quiet resistance, often due to a deeper fear of success. This episode explores the psychology behind self sabotaging behaviors, especially when faced with the uncertainty of achieving our aspirations. Understanding this dynamic is a crucial step for personal growth and self improvement. ❤️‍🩹 💪

Most people assume they’re afraid of failure. But for many, the deeper fear is actually success—the visibility, responsibility, and identity shift that comes with getting what you’ve been working toward.
In this episode, I break down the real neuroscience behind success-avoidance, why your mind resists moving forward, and the five steps you can use to update your internal story and take intentional action. These insights come from over 40 years of studying how the mind drives behavior and how identity shifts create real change.

You’ll learn:
• Why fear of success is more common than people think
• How your mind uses old identity predictions to protect you
• What triggers hesitation, overthinking, and self-sabotage
• How to uncover the thought driving your resistance
• How to update the meaning your mind assigns to success
• The small actions that reshape your identity and unlock momentum
