#46: Overcoming the Fear of Success Through Pleasure
From the work that I’ve done with my clients, the work I’ve done within myself, and in conversations I’ve had with other leaders, the fear of success actually tends to be more of a block for most people than the fear of failure.
In this episode of the podcast, we’re going to explore the fear of success & where this fear may come from, what it means to have embodied success, and how pleasure is a super important aspect of shifting out of the fear of success. I’ll also share some of the healing work that can be done around this and a little about my own personal journey with working through this fear in case it resonates with you too!
