15 | The Subconscious Fear of Success: Why You Might Be Afraid of the Life You Say You Want

What if fear of success wasn’t about reaching your goals, but about what success might cost you?

In this episode, Safiya and I dive into one of the most misunderstood blocks I see in high-achieving entrepreneurs: the fear of success.

We talk about how fear of success is rarely about ambition. It’s often a deeply rooted fear that if we succeed, we’ll lose something we’re not ready to let go of. Whether that’s connection, freedom, rest, love, or identity.

This conversation explores how your nervous system can react to success as if it’s a threat, and how that shows up as procrastination, burnout, or emotional withdrawal after a win. And we explore how to begin shifting that fear, not by pushing harder, but by listening to what it’s trying to protect.

What You’ll Learn:

How fear of success shows up in sneaky ways
Why success can trigger the same stress response as failure
What your subconscious is trying to avoid when you hold yourself back
A real client story that reveals how fear of success masked itself as income inconsistency
How to rewire your relationship with success so it finally feels safe to grow

It might help them realize they’re not afraid of failing, they’re actually afraid of what they might lose if they succeed.
