What if you're not actually afraid of failing…you're afraid of succeeding?
My book, You're Not in Trouble, is officially out in the UK, and I should be feeling on top of the world, right?
Well…not exactly. 😂
Instead, I'm feeling vulnerable, uncomfortable, and honestly? A little desperate to hide from everyone.
In this episode, I'm getting REAL about why success can feel so terrifying for adults with ADHD.
We're talking about self-sabotage, rejection sensitivity, imposter syndrome, and why our brains sometimes prefer the familiarity of failure over the uncertainty of success.
I'm sharing how I've been navigating the discomfort of putting my work into the world, why I nearly sabotaged my own celebration, and how self-compassion is helping me keep going instead of running away.
If you've ever gotten close to something you've wanted and suddenly felt the urge to quit, hide, or blow it all up, this episode is for you.
You can do hard things AND be kind to yourself along the way.
