In this solo episode we dive into an insidious fear, one that most of us don't think we have, yet it rears it's head when we least expect it. The Fear of Success.
While we can all relate to the fear of failure, public embarrassment, etc. We don't realize that our dreams and goals may be extinguished by the fear of success.
We delve into the phenomena of "Tall Poppie Syndrome" and the "Crabs in a Bucket" mentality.
Also referenced (and highly recommended) is the book "Change Your Story, Change Your Life" by Kendra Hall. This book relates to all obstacles that may keep us from achieving our goals, not just the fear of success.
The book "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers, PhD is also referenced. This book will be revisited frequently in the episodes relating to fears of all kinds.
