Pre-Launch Anxiety: Why You Feel This Way Before Selling


Listen Later

Pre-launch anxiety isn’t a strategy problem—it’s a nervous system response.

In this episode, Carly shares a powerful real-life moment that completely reframed how she thinks about growth, selling, and staying grounded in business.

Using the unexpected metaphor of a fish jumping and returning to water, she breaks down why expansion isn’t about pushing harder or staying “high vibe”—it’s about building the capacity to land, regulate, and return to yourself.

If you’ve ever posted something, launched an offer, or put yourself out there—and then immediately spiraled, overthought, or pulled back—this episode will help you understand why.

This is about learning how to stay, trust yourself, and keep going—even when things feel uncertain, quiet, or exposed.

  • Why freezing, avoiding, or pulling back is a protective response
