If you notice yourself tightening just as things begin to go well—waiting for the collapse instead of allowing yourself to receive—this episode is for you. I’m unpacking why growth often feels more destabilizing than struggle, not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because your nervous system reads unfamiliar safety as a threat and pulls you back toward the identity that once kept you safe.
We’ll explore how the Inner Critic frames vigilance as wisdom, why your body prepares for loss before joy has time to settle, and how old survival patterns quietly shape what you believe is “realistic” or possible.
✨ Tune in to learn how to stop confusing fear with intuition, gently disengage from the identity built around bracing, and move forward with clarity, self-trust, and grounded courage—one regulated, conscious choice at a time.
Your weekly reflection questions:
- Where in my life am I mistaking familiar emotional patterns or circumstances for truth about who I am or what’s possible?
- When my Inner Critic interprets my current reality, what past version of me is it trying to keep alive—and what might my Authentic Self see instead?
- If my life is reflecting who I’ve been rather than who I’m becoming, who am I choosing to live from today—memory or presence?
