132. Signs of High-Functioning Anxiety

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right,” but you still can’t get past an invisible ceiling, this episode is for you. We talk about the glass ceiling within and how it shows up as over-delivering, people-pleasing, and overthinking, even when you look confident on the outside. My guest is a consultant psychotherapist, psychodynamic mentor, and self-esteem expert with decades in practice. She explains why high-functioning anxiety can masquerade as ambition, why your nervous system can normalize stress until you don’t even notice it, and how micro-trauma creates the invisible scripts that shape your confidence, boundaries, and business decisions.You’ll also get simple, practical steps you can use today: where you’re over-giving to feel enough, where you’re holding back instead of speaking up, and one small action that proves to your brain that the ceiling won’t fall in.  Keywords naturally included: midlife reinvention, confidence, purpose, entrepreneurship, starting over after 40, women in business.You can find Lisa here: https://welcome.empoweredmomentum.com/AppleSpotify YouTube  Share it with friends who may like it too :)Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynettedale/ New: Join me and other midlife women entrepreneurs in my new community!!Link: https://www.skool.com/midlifewomenentrepreneurs/about
