from Own Your Choices Own Your Life

This episode explores why success can feel scary, even when it’s something you want.It shares that many people, especially women, feel fear around success without fully understanding why.One reason is not having a clear definition of what success means for you. Without that clarity, it can feel hard to move toward it.The episode also explains how self-sabotage can come from a desire to feel safe and stay in what’s familiar.The message is simple: when you understand your beliefs, face your fears, and define success for yourself, you can start to create it in a way that feels aligned and possible.Chapters:[00:59] - The Psychology of Success: Overcoming Fear[07:39] - Navigating Financial Challenges[11:13] - Understanding the Subconscious Mind and Nervous System[14:00] - Embracing Change: Building a New Belief SystemMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterUNBOTHERED Mastermind: https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/w8WVE3PaWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowTickets for Heart-Wired CEO Live https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/liveUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.
