## Resource

Most conversations about fear focus on one thing: the fear of failure. But what if that's not the fear that's actually running the show? In this episode, I explore two fears I see constantly in midlife women and have experienced myself: the fear of success and the fear of not succeeding. On the surface they seem completely different. In practice, they often create the exact same result. Stuckness. Together we'll unpack the questions hiding beneath both fears and why neither deserves the final say in how you live your life. Fear will always have an opinion. That doesn't mean it gets a vote. Want to keep going?
