EP 20 Below the Surface: Why High Achievers Doubt Themselves and What Actually Shifts It with Sabine Lehner

Send us Fan MailYou have the track record. You have the experience. You have done hard things before. So why does that voice inside still whisper that you are not enough?In this deeply illuminating episode of The Magic in the Middle, Sarah sits down with her friend, executive coach, and clinical hypnotherapist Sabine Lehner, founder of Turnaround Practice in Australia, for a conversation that goes far below the surface of confidence, doubt, and what it actually takes to change the tapes that have been running your life.Sabine spent nearly a decade in finance before a single moment with a colleague in tears showed her that people mattered more to her than numbers ever would. She walked out of that office on a Thursday and never went back. What followed was a decade of deep study, corporate transformation work across three continents, and the creation of a coaching practice that does something most coaches never do: it goes straight to the subconscious source.And while Sabine works with leaders and high achievers, everything she shares in this episode is for every single one of us. Because the subconscious mind does not care whether you run a company or a household, whether you are a CEO or a creative, a parent or a student. The old tapes run the same in all of us. The patterns formed in childhood do not check your job title before they show up. And the freedom that comes from finally understanding what has been quietly running your life belongs to everyone.Because here is what Sabine knows, and Sarah knows from personal experience: you cannot think your way out of a subconscious pattern. And until you find the old tape that is running in the background, all the strategy in the world will only take you so far.In this conversation you will discover:Why high achievers are often the most secretly insecure people in the room, and the surprising reason why their success makes the doubt louder, not quieterThe difference between doubt that is undermining you and doubt that is actually your wisest informing agent, and why knowing which is which changes everythingHow Sabine combines clinical hypnotherapy with executive coaching to clear the window so you can finally see your situation, your strengths, and your path forward with total clarityWhy an 18 minute guided hypnotherapy session can shift something that years of talk therapy never touchedThe moving goalpost pattern that keeps high achievers perpetually feeling like they are falling short, no matter how much they achieveHow stress literally narrows your thinking and sends you straight back to a belief you formed at age 10, and what to do the moment you feel that happeningWhy unshakeable confidence is not the goal, and what emotional intelligence has to do with genuine, grounded successSarah speaks personally in this episode about her own experience working with Sabine, and what shifted in her when the old tapes finally stopped running. This is one of the most practical, science-grounded, and quietly transformational conversations The Magic in the Middle has ever hosted so far.You are not your doubt. You never were. And there is a way through that is faster and more freeing than you might ever have imagined.Grab Sabine's free confidence audio gift here: https://www.turnaroundpractice.au/confidence-audioBook a free 30 minute consultation with Sabine here: https://book.turnaroundpractice.au/30-min-marrvelous-lifeFind Sabine Lehner and the Turnaround Practice at https://www.turnaroundpractice.au/ Join Sarah's free Qigong practice group, Monday through Friday, 7 to 7:35am Pacific on Zoom.
