"I Know I'm Qualified—So Why Don't I Feel It?" | Coaching Session on Interview Anxiety & Self-Doubt


Listen Later

Erin has been job searching for over a year. She's made it to final rounds, gotten painfully close, and walked away with rejection after rejection. The hardest part? She knows she's qualified. On paper, she has everything they're looking for. But the moment she gets on an interview call, something takes over—her chest tightens, her heart races, and a voice kicks in: You're not enough.

In this coaching session, we dig into what's really going on. We map the physical sensations that show up under stress and design somatic practices to counter them. We unpack the stories she tells herself and find real evidence to challenge them. And we uncover a core truth: the thing she values most—connection—is exactly what's making rejection feel so devastating.

This one's for anyone who's ever thought: I know I can do this, so why do I freeze up when it matters?

In this episode:

  • How to identify your body's stress response and create personalized antidotes
  • The difference between performing and connecting in interviews
  • Why your inner critic needs evidence, not affirmations
  • Using the "downward arrow" technique to find your core fear
  • Building daily rituals that make confidence feel embodied, not forced
