EP 162: Why High-Achieving Women Secretly Resist Success
There’s a fear many high-achieving, soul-led women carry - but rarely name.
Not the fear of failure.
The fear of what success will cost.
Because stepping into your next level often means outgrowing people, patterns, and identities that once made you feel safe.
And that kind of expansion? It doesn’t just bring possibility. It brings grief.
In this episode, we explore the invisible emotional edge behind your stuckness - and what it really means to outgrow versions of yourself that were never meant to hold your next chapter.
Inside, we’ll walk through:
The neuroscience behind identity conflict and success resistance
Why your nervous system may associate struggle with belonging
What to do when rising means losing connection - and how to lead through it with integrity
How to stop sabotaging your success to stay safe in old roles and dynamics
This episode is for the woman who is ready for more - but finds herself hesitating, circling, or quietly shrinking to stay connected.
Because deep down, you already know - it's not about being ready.
It's about feeling safe.
Reflection prompts:
What parts of me are afraid of being too big, too visible, or too different?
Who or what might I lose if I fully step into the life I desire?
Am I leading from expansion - or managing other people’s comfort?
Listen now to uncover the unseen blocks between where you are and who you're becoming.
