Why Your Hyperachiever Is Sabotaging Your Growth with Dorice Horenstein

The drive that built your business might be the very thing quietly burning it down. In this episode, I sit down with Dorice Horenstein, International Keynote Speaker, Positive Intelligence Expert, and award-winning author of Choose to Be Your Own Champion, to talk about the saboteurs living rent-free in your mind and costing you more than you know. We dig into the hyperachiever pattern that so many female founders wear like a badge of honor and keeps you running without ever truly arriving. Dorice breaks down what Positive Intelligence actually is, the neuroscience behind why your brain defaults to sabotage, how to catch it before it takes over, and the practical tools to build mental fitness that holds under pressure.   If you've ever hit a milestone and immediately chased the next one without stopping to breathe, this episode was made for you.
