Have you ever held back from speaking your truth, going after an opportunity, or making a bold decision—just because you were worried what others might think? That’s FOPO: the Fear of Other People’s Opinions.
In this episode, Angie shines a light on this lesser-known but powerful inner critic and how it quietly influences our decisions, actions, and leadership. She explores how FOPO differs from other common internal blockers like imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, and perfectionism, and how it often blends with them in subtle ways.
You'll hear:
What FOPO is and how it shows up in leadership and life
Real-life examples of how FOPO holds us back
The cost of letting FOPO take the wheel
How to reclaim your voice, authenticity, and forward momentum
Plus, we share practical reflection questions and mindset shifts to help you recognize and step beyond FOPO when it shows up.
Enjoy!
