Fear of failure is one of the most silent yet powerful roadblocks to leadership growth—and for purpose-driven leaders, it can be especially limiting. In Episode 64 of Entrusted to Lead, Danita Cummins welcomes mindset coach and author Lana Sheppard to unpack how limiting beliefs, perfectionism, and fear of judgment can hold us back from making clear decisions and building the impact we’re called to lead.
Lana shares her own journey through grief, entrepreneurship, and reinvention. After running and selling a successful payroll and bookkeeping firm, she turned her attention to coaching and authored the Give Up book series—helping leaders examine and release beliefs that no longer serve their vision.
Whether you’re stuck in perfectionism, overthinking your next move, or afraid to launch something new, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and practical tools to help you break free from hesitation and lead with greater confidence.
