Episode 17: Failure Isn’t the Threat You Think It Is with Bree Coulter

Episode 17: Failure Isn’t the Threat You Think It Is with Bree CoulterFailure isn’t the threat you think it is.For many helping professionals, fear of failure quietly sits underneath people-pleasing, overworking, blurred boundaries, and chronic self-doubt, even when insight, experience, and professional knowledge are already there.In this episode of Not Another PD, Jazmin is joined by Bree Coulter, creator of the SHIFT Method, a neuroscience-informed approach focused on subconscious healing, identity alignment, and safety-based change to explore why awareness alone rarely creates lasting shifts, and how old safety patterns continue to shape how we show up at work, in relationships, and in leadership.This conversation unpacks why knowing why you do something doesn’t always change it, how the brain prioritises safety over logic, why fear of failure keeps people stuck in repeat cycles, the role of the limbic system in people-pleasing and over-functioning, why many boundary difficulties are safety-based rather than discipline-based, how failure becomes feedback and direction rather than proof you’re “not enough,” and what shifts when professionals begin leading from self-trust instead of self-protection.Bree also shares her lived experience of being a high performer with no boundaries, how those patterns were rooted in early survival wiring, and how developing the SHIFT Method allowed her to realign who she was internally with how she showed up externally, including the personal boundaries she holds to protect her energy and family time.This episode will resonate particularly with helping professionals who have done extensive therapy, supervision, and professional development, want to understand some of their patterns intellectually, still feel exhausted, reactive, or stuck, and are looking for change that actually lasts, not just more insight.How to Work with Bree:Bree offers 1:1 coaching using the SHIFT Method (Subconscious Healing and Identity Fracture Transformation).WebsiteLinkedInBree also offers a free, non-sales clarity call for those wanting to explore what’s showing up and whether working together is the right fit.Free Resource for Not Another PD Listeners:A reflective journaling resource designed to help listeners understand where emotions are coming from, what the brain and body are communicating, and what may need addressing.FREE MINI COURSEMake sure to use DISCOUNT CODE: DECODE100 so it is FREE just for you, lovely.How to Work with Jazmin:Boundaries as Practitioners — Self-Paced Training ($59)A practical, evidence-informed professional learning program supporting helping professionals to recognise boundary moments early, reduce mental load, and practise with greater clarity and consistency.
