It's time to explore the dual fears of success and failure. Specifically how procrastination can manifest from both.
Anyone else never thought they were a procrastinator & then WHAM, one day you were?
This might be why & I share in this episode my personal journey in entrepreneurship, discussing the importance of accountability, setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care to overcome these fears.
There are 3 practical habits I implemented or changed over the last few months, & you can too!
Most importantly though, I want you to understand that the Fear of Success can be just as paralyzing as the Fear of Failure (yes you heard that right!).

We are THROWING IT BACK this week with one of our most popular episodes from when this podcast started. 
My previous Life Coach & mentor, Lindsay Luttrell, joined us in this episode!
Lindsay's unique journey led her to the role of a life coach, and the best part is, she has personally navigated and overcome the challenges she now guides others through.
In this episode, Lindsay takes us on a journey deep into the art of replacing negative thoughts. The first step- understanding the pivotal role thoughts play in shaping our emotions, sensations, and actions. Lindsay emphasizes that when a thought arises, it sets off a chain reaction.
So, how do we interrupt this chain and prevent negative outcomes? Lindsay shares valuable insights on addressing the root cause: our thoughts. She shares three techniques to cultivate a more positive mindset!
