Why Success Feels Like a Threat
from The Mind-Body Mentor · host Steven Jaggers
I dive into why success can actually feel threatening when your nervous system isn’t regulated. We explore how self-sabotage, fear, and old emotional patterns can surface right when things start going well. I unpack the connection between success, identity, and the body, and how redefining success on your own terms changes everything. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck right when you’re “winning,” this conversation will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
