Episode 22 - Fear of Success = Fear of Failure….in Heels!

from Your Intentional Life Podcast · host Kima-Shai Starr

We love to glamorize the “fear of success,” but let’s be real—it’s just fear of failure showing up in a fancier outfit. In this episode, I’m breaking down how the pressure of maintaining success, the fear of judgment, and even our self-sabotaging habits all trace back to one thing: being terrified of failing.We’ll talk about why we shrink ourselves when opportunities show up, how procrastination is really just protection in disguise, and why success isn’t a final exam you either pass or fail—it’s an ongoing evolution.If you’ve ever wondered why you hesitate when things start going too well, this conversation is for you.✨ Reflective question for you: Where in your life are you calling it fear of success, when really it’s just fear of failure whispering in the background?Also here’s the youtube link to that video I watched that gave me the gut punch. Sharing is caring! 😇😉I had never heard of the man before today, but I like his style and will certainly be learning more! https://youtu.be/N65NPYRN8z8?si=-soYt0hvNtrUo5NG
