The Real Reasons You Doubt Yourself When You’re About to Level Up

Right before the breakthrough, the doubts get loud. The fear shows up. The old stories start screaming, “Who do you think you are?” — and suddenly, what you’ve been building feels heavy, overwhelming, even terrifying. In this episode, I’m breaking down why this happens—and why it’s actually a sign that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. We’ll explore how fear, ego, spiritual warfare, and old wounds all rise before growth, and how to move through it with compassion, curiosity, and courage. In this episode, I cover:Real stories from women standing on the edge of breakthroughWhy fear spikes before expansionWhat science, faith, and soul work teach us about resistanceHow to regulate your nervous system and move forward with truthA reminder: You’re not broken—you’re closer than you think If you’re feeling the pull toward something bigger—but the fear is getting LOUD—this conversation is your permission slip to keep going.
