You’ve probably heard it before: “If you have a Plan B, you’re not committed to Plan A.”
Spoiler alert: that’s not confidence that’s delusion. In this episode, I’m flipping that mindset and showing you why having a backup plan is actually one of the most powerful things you can do for your goals.
Backups don’t mean giving up. They mean being strategic, resourceful, and unstoppable. We’ll dive into the neuroscience of decision making under pressure, how backup plans affect confidence and performance, and why clarity often comes after giving yourself more than one path forward.
What you’ll learn:
-
Why having a Plan B makes you more, not less likely to succeed at Plan A
-
How cognitive flexibility protects your mental health
-
The link between contingency planning and confidence
If you’ve ever feared that “hedging your bets” is weak this episode is your permission to be smart, not stubborn. Prepare to rewire how you chase your dreams.
