If you've ever stopped yourself from going after what you want, you're not alone. This is one of the most common struggles I see with talented, capable people - and once you understand why it happens, everything will make sense.

You work hard, you're good at what you do, but when it's time to step into the spotlight - to be seen, to claim success, to own your authority - something stops you.

The anxiety kicks in. You play it safe. You accommodate others. You convince yourself you need to follow someone else's rules instead of your own.

And the reason why might surprise you - it's not what most people think.

This isn't just uncomfortable - the cost is huge. You're earning a fraction of what you're capable of earning. And you're emotionally exhausted by your own anxiety. It's draining you.

In this episode, I'm revealing why this happens and what you can do to solve it.

I'm also sharing my personal journey from 2016 to today. Back then, I was so afraid of being seen that I couldn't even order a salad at a pizza restaurant because I didn't want my friends to think I was being difficult. I had to ask my husband to order it for me. That's how accommodating and small I had made myself.

If you only know me as the bold version of myself that I am today, this story is going to shock you.

I'm going to tell you exactly how I overcame it - and give you the exact steps for learning to jump into action. To submit the LinkedIn post. To send the email invitation. To make the offer to work with someone.

This is true freedom in business - the comfort to play by your own rules and actually have the income and business you want.
