This week, we crack open the myth of “fear of failure” and reveal what’s really holding so many of us back in our careers—and lives. Ever put off applying for a new job, trying a risky project, or even wearing a wild Christmas suit because you’re worried you’ll mess up? In this Friday Focus episode, I share some personal stories (including my infamous sourdough starter disasters and those bold holiday suits) to show that it’s not actually the failing we’re afraid of—it’s other people knowing that we failed.

You’ll discover how most people aren’t paying as much attention to your missteps as you think, and why, when they do notice, they’re more likely to be supportive than critical. We break down how shifting your mindset from “people will judge me” to “nobody actually cares as much as I think” can be liberating, freeing you up to experiment and grow with a lot less anxiety. I arm you with two practical strategies to help you move from paralyzed to unstoppable, no matter what challenge you’re facing.
