What if healing your mindset started with a little more compassion and a lot less pressure?

In this episode, I’m joined by Erica Rooney, executive coach, keynote speaker, and author of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, for a powerful conversation about the hidden beliefs and behaviors that keep us stuck in fear, perfectionism, and self-doubt.

While external systems and structural barriers—especially for women and marginalized folks—are very real, Erica invites us to also look inward: What are the internal patterns we’ve unconsciously absorbed that keep us stuck? What if the real barrier isn’t only the glass ceiling above us, but also a sticky floor beneath us?

We talk about the subtle ways worthiness wounds show up in business, the difference between impostor syndrome and deep-rooted self-doubt, and how Erica’s SNAP method can help you shift limiting beliefs in the moment. 

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
