What if the fear of being judged is the only thing standing between you and the life you’re meant to live?
In this powerful episode of The Tarryn Reeves Show, I sit down with mindset coach, business strategist, and host of the Online Business By Design podcast, Ivana Ivanek, to unpack one of the most common but hidden obstacles faced by entrepreneurs — the fear of rejection and judgment.
Together, we explore what it really means to be seen, how to stop outsourcing your self-worth, and how to pursue your dreams unapologetically — even when others don’t get it. Ivana shares her story of walking away from corporate life, hitting rock bottom after her first business failed, and rising again to build a purpose-led business that makes both impact and income.
If you’ve ever held yourself back because of what they might think — this episode is your permission slip to start now, dream bigger, and lead boldly.
