256. How to Stop Blaming Yourself When Business Gets Hard

from The Subconscious Expert: Mindset, Identity Work & Embodied Leadership for Ambitious Women

You know that moment when business gets hard, sales slow down, ideas aren't flowing, motivation dips and your brain immediately goes "What's wrong with me?" In this episode, we're breaking down the blame cycle that keeps high achieving women stuck, why your subconscious defaults to self blame when uncertainty hits, and the critical difference between looking at yourself through shame versus looking at yourself through curiosity. Discover how to shift from the "fixing" lens to the "curious" lens so you can actually lead yourself through challenges instead of spiralling into self criticism. Subconscious Prompts : What do I make it mean about me when things feel hard in my business? Where in my business do I default to self blame instead of self leadership? When I last experienced a challenge, was I looking at myself through the blame lens or the curious lens? What evidence do I have that I can move through challenges without blaming myself first? What would it look like to examine a current challenge through curiosity instead of blame? How can I show myself I'm safe to grow even when it feels uncertain?
