Powerback 157: Let's talk about the fear of success Apr 27, 2023

Show notes

You get a goal, a vision. You get a feeling, a tug. You get excited and start really leaning into it. Then your brain, your body, and everything about it starts to convince you why you can't.
More often than not, the what-if category loves to run rampant when it starts to create all of these fake scenarios, and what-if situations that in turn end up stopping you from doing the thing that you actually want to do.
In this week's Powerback® episode, we're going to get your power back by tackling the fear of succeeding and the fear of achieving your goals and your dreams.
We are going to walk through:

5 main fears that may be stopping you from succeeding
How you can shift and move through them

Powerback 156: Get over your fear of failure Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

Failure gets this really nasty rap because it just automatically means that you've screwed up, you've lost something, it means that you are a shitbag of a person. When, in fact, I feel like failure actually has this incredibly powerful way of guiding us closer to where we actually want to be.
There is no need to continue kicking your own ass for what may have gone sideways in the past. There is no need to continue stopping yourself from doing all the incredible things that you know you're capable of doing, just because failure might be one of the outcomes.
So, in this week's Powerback® episode, I'm going to help you take your power back by:

getting over your fear of failure
giving you some ways to acknowledge what failure looks like in your life
throwing down some swift kicks in the mental ass
helping you reframe what failure actually means
using the Powerback® process so failure can become an incredibly powerful tool for you.

Powerback 154: Release these 5 things to thrive in life and business Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

You are smart, capable, and driven and you have these incredible ideas. Yet, you often feel like you're not where you really want to be and where you know you can be. You look around and see all these people killing it, so you start to wonder “What is wrong with me? What am I doing wrong?”
Over the last 15 years of working with hundreds and hundreds of entrepreneurs, I have found that it's not necessarily what you're doing and how you're doing it. It’s the shit that's going on in between your ears, that's actually the thing stopping you.
So, in this week's Powerback® episode, I'm going to go over the five things that go on in your head and that if you release or actively work on releasing them, you can and will have everything that you want.
These 5 opportunities to take your Powerback® are:

Comparison
Indecision
Lack of Clarity
Resistance
Fear
