How to celebrate yourself, demand more, and run your own damn race

Warrior woman— She’s back.

The voice. You know the one. Draped in drama. Lip red. Martini in hand.

She walks in like she owns the place. And says it, without blinking: “It’s not good enough. You’re not good enough.”

She shows up right when you should be celebrating. After the launch. After the race. After the thing you poured your whole damn self into.

Instead of joy? You spiral.

This episode is about her. The inner critic. The elegant saboteur. The one who pushes—and punishes. It’s about me. And it’s probably about you.

I’m pulling the curtain back on what’s been happening behind the scenes: 📉 The podcast pause 💥 The sting of rejection after aiming higher 🔥 The dark and twisty hangover that followed 🖤 And the moment I realised: she doesn’t get to run the show

This one’s for the high-achiever who always wants more. The woman who can’t stop striving, but forgets to celebrate. You can be deeply proud. And still demand more. Let me show you how.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EP:

• How to celebrate your wins without losing your edge
• Why “never good enough” can be fuel or fire—and how to tell the difference
• The power of building your table (and why you can’t do this alone)
• Why you often can’t see your own progress—and how coaching fixes that
• What happens when you stop running other people’s races, and finally run your own

QUOTES:

• “She’s dangerous—but she’s also the reason I got this good."
• “You can be deeply proud and sharply unsatisfied.”
• “You can’t abandon your cues just because someone else is pulling ahead.”
• “Some days she shows up to push me forward. Some days, she wants to burn the whole thing down.”
• “We can’t do this alone. You need a table. You need proximity to power.”
