b"Fear of Success\\nWhen I first heard this phrase, Fear of Success, it was a lightbulb moment for me. A lot of what you hear today is my personal lived experience because I teach through experiential storytelling. I find that those who are drawn to listen to specific episodes will hear something through my experiences that really resonates and lands. Hopefully, that will spark and ignite change in your lives. That's why I do what I do.\\n\\xa0\\nFear has ruled my life for so long. I'm going to be 40 years old next month, and I feel like\\xa0 I'm still coming into my adulthood. A lot of people probably feel the same. It's the cusp between who you were, and who you are to become. It feels like destiny territory!\\n\\xa0\\n\\U0001d5df\\U0001d5dc\\U0001d5e1\\U0001d5de\\U0001d5e6\\nJoin us on the new FREE Spirit School platform: https://myspiritschoolcollective.com/plans/\\nIf you want to join the Spirit School Collective at the same time, choose the Spirit School Collective plan: https://myspiritschoolcollective.com/plans/\\nJoin the waitlist for The Initiation\\nVisit https://myspiritschool.com/ for all courses and upcoming programs\\nView full transcripts of podcast episodes at https://www.squamishmedium.com/blog\\n\\nIn this episode:\\nInnovation requires you to try new things and fail, so it is not a bad thing\\nI do have a fear of success, which is imposter syndrome or success anxiety\\nWe stay small because of the unknowns on the other side of success\\nMy fear of success is rooted in seeing people misuse influence and power\\nI want to reclaim the word power to a feminine and expansive term\\nWe avoid expansion and miss or turn away opportunities for visibility\\nI deflect and devalue my magnificence when I receive a compliment\\nI feel like I\\u2019ve outgrown the kids\\u2019 table but am too small for the adult table\\nMy assistant Danielle felt my podcast sponsor pitch was more fangirl than CEO to CEO\\nIn other parts of the world, what you do for work is not asked like in North America\\nBeing a medium with an online school and a podcaster attracts a lot of attention\\nI\\u2019ve lost two great friends because of how my success made them feel\\nThis has given me evidence that this path is even lonelier than before the success\\nShame, perfectionism and procrastination prevent people from the vulnerability of trying\\xa0\\nRejection stopped hurting when I started asking myself what I wanted to talk about\\nThere is no one with influence in the wellness space using their power how I would\\n@malibumedium texted me a message that I won\\u2019t misuse power in this lifetime\\nSome of the things we walk through in this lifetime are from past lives\\nI had a wound around criticism, especially when I was feeling good about myself\\nWhen you reach a goal, you question if you can sustain that level of success\\nCreate your own evidence that success is something safe and self-claimed\\nThe happiest people in the world live with the least material things\\xa0\\nSelf sabotage keeps me from holding onto the feeling of success for long\\nIt is foreign and uncomfortable for people with chaotic childhoods and trauma\\nI had to create micro moments of joy and love to acclimate to angel energy\\nGet clear on what success looks, sounds, and feels like to you individually\\nWe are chasing a mirage of success that doesn\\u2019t have an identity\\nCelebrating success when it comes in is part of the healing journey\\xa0\\nI asked spirit if it was okay to be so proud of myself for launching the new platform\\nCelebration is at the vibration of gratitude and abundance\\nHealing doesn\\u2019t happen overnight and we need awareness around it first\\nTry this mindset shift: What if it all turns out amazing?"
