Safe Experiments to Build Momentum and Overcome Career Fear

Send us Fan MailEver felt paralyzed by the fear of making a mistake or being judged in your career? This week, I’m challenging the myth of perfection and diving headfirst into why taking imperfect action is actually the safest bet you can make. I share the real reason many of us hesitate to post on LinkedIn, start a side hustle, or even voice our opinions—and it has nothing to do with actual risk, and everything to do with our discomfort around feelings like embarrassment or being disliked.We’ll explore how our brains mess with us, convincing us that trying something new—a business venture, a bold ask, or even a quirky interest on your resume—is dangerous, when in reality, it’s just uncomfortable. You'll hear stories about job seekers who held themselves back out of fear of what future employers might think, and learn why you’ll never be able to please everyone (and why that shouldn't stop you).Ready to get unstuck? I’m inviting you to try a simple, low-risk experiment this week to retrain your brain and prove, once and for all, that discomfort isn’t danger. We even dig into Jia Jiang’s “rejection therapy” and how intentionally seeking small rejections can build your confidence and momentum. Want to share your experience or connect?
