The shame script behind analysis paralysis, course debt, and why you’re still stuck
Episode Summary
If your business currently feels like an expensive hobby with a side of panic, this one’s for you. We dig into the silent operator under your burnout, pricing wobble, perfectionism, and “maybe one more course” habit: shame. Not the buzzy kind—the embodied, nervous-system kind that quietly hijacks decisions, keeps you over-researching, and convinces you visibility is dangerous. In short, you don’t have a strategy problem; you have a safety problem. Today, we name it, normalize it, and show you how to rebuild momentum from self-trust, not self-doubt. Cue the self-sabotage soldiers packing their bags.
In other words: you can’t out-strategize shame. But you can outgrow it.
