Welcome to Imperfect Success, your new favorite podcast teaching you, a success-driven perfectionist, how to (FINALLY) ditch perfectionism and still enjoy the high-achiever lifestyle.

In this episode, our host, Nicole Baker Holleman (look at that name change!), explores a deeply relatable yet often overlooked concept: The Fear of Success. Many high achievers unconsciously self-sabotage and have negative self-talk due to this fear.

Today, Nicole aims to unpack this issue and provide tactical exercises to overcome this mental barrier.

• Nicole addresses the new name for the podcast, sharing the reasons behind this change.

• The difference between Fear of Failure and Fear of Success. Nicole suggests that we are often more aware of our Fear of Failure, while the Fear of Success tends to be more elusive.

• Why Fear of Success leads to unconscious self-sabotage. Nicole explains how this fear can cause us to unintentionally derail our own progress because we may not fully believe in our potential for success.

• Manifestations of Fear of Success: Fear of change, losing control, increased stress, and feeling undeserving are among the common fears discussed. Nicole gives real-life examples, shedding light on how this fear might show up in our lives.

• Overcoming these big fears

We throw around the phrase “I need better habits” like nobody's business. 

And as high achievers and perfectionists, we are ALWAYS looking at the habits we want to change or add that will lead us to being better, healthier and more successful. 

…But white-knuckling it and forcing yourself to just push through isn’t what it takes to build new habits. 

As someone who has MASSIVELY changed her habits in the last 10 years, I am so excited for today's topic of habit fundamentals. We’re diving into the science behind habits and what you can do to change your habits (and make sure they actually stick)!
