Are you still holding onto the identity of “someone with potential”?
In this episode of The Mindful Startup Podcast, we explore the quiet trap of being praised for potential—and why it can keep you stuck. From childhood affirmations to adult expectations, Hannah breaks down how the identity of someone who could be great can hold you back from actually becoming great.

We dive into:

  • Why the world often prefers potential over realized power

  • How staying in “potential” protects you from rejection and discomfort
