We always talk about the fear of failure—but what if the real block is the fear of actually winning?
In this episode of Vibe N Affirmations, I unpack what it really means to fear success: the pressure, the visibility, the identity shift, and the guilt of outgrowing what once felt familiar. I recorded this while reflecting during my trip to Barbados—because sometimes you have to leave your environment to see your patterns clearly.
From ocean views (VISUAL EXPERIENCE ON YOUTUBE) to deep introspection, this one hits on:
• Why success can feel scary—even when you want it
• How we subconsciously sabotage progress
• The emotional weight of being seen, chosen, and expected to deliver
• And how to stop shrinking when you’re meant to shine
Affirmation of the Day:
“I am ready for success, and I will not shrink to make others comfortable.”
This episode is for anyone who’s been on the edge of elevation but started second guessing, pulling back, or playing small just when things started to align.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I really ready for the life I’ve been manifesting?”—this one’s for you.
Watch. Reflect. Reclaim your power.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
