This week on the Anxious Creative Podcast, I'm getting real about the messy intersection of anxiety and imposter syndrome. I'm sharing my own hilarious (in hindsight) and cringe-worthy experience of quitting my dream job because my anxiety convinced me I was a fraud. We'll dive into the oh-so-familiar feelings of panic, the urge to please everyone, and that deep-seated belief that you're just not good enough. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom! I'm also dropping some hard-won wisdom and actionable tips on how to actually move through these feelings without resorting to hiding, quitting, or those tearful bathroom floor moments.If you've ever felt like anxiety is running your life or that little voice of self-doubt is screaming louder than your ambition, this episode is for you. We'll explore:why taking imperfect action is crucial, how to feel your way through anxiety instead of overthinking it, and why sometimes, the most rebellious thing you can do is disappoint others to step into your own power. Plus, I'm sharing a book recommendation that's been a game-changer for me. If you're ready to ditch the overwhelm and build a business with genuine confidence and integrity, stick around – and maybe check out my free masterclass!Links & Resources:Join Rock Your Business to align your decisions with your goals.Get instant access tp my FREE Masterclass on From   Overwhelmed to ProfitableFollow me: Instagram: www.instagram.com/dawnbradleyYoutube: www.youtube.com/dawnbradley  For more info on RYB, Retreats etc: www.dawnbradley.com

In this episode, Tyler talks about how fear of failure — not lack of skill or ambition — often shapes the decisions we make in business and life.

Why do men have difficulty being transparent and sharing vulnerable details about their livesRichard contends that it comes down to problems associated with pride, which drives men to worry about being seen as a failure by those around them.In his book The Power of a Humble Life Richard explains why men especially struggle with pride and humility—and how pride is, quite literally, the driving force behind so many of humanity's problems, from wars to parenting struggles. >>Watch on YouTube**This conversation originally appeared on The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina Griffin. >>Watch Tina's episode

May 11, 2025 - "The Fear Of Failure"

In this reflective and personal episode, I share a powerful insight that emerged during my weekly guided meditation and journaling group, Curious Minds, in Mount Maunganui. As the group grows and flourishes, I have been facing an internal resistance — the sneaky, familiar voice that whispers, “This is too good to be true.” Do you ever find yourself thinking that? I explore the roots of this mindset, how it shows up in different areas of my life, and why many of us struggle to feel safe in moments of success and joy. I also offer gentle, grounded strategies to help you expand your capacity for joy without self-sabotage. In this episode you will learn: What the "too good to be true" mindset is and how it might be showing up in your own life Why success and happiness can sometimes feel unsafe or unfamiliar How protective pessimism can rob you of presence and peace The connection between fear of loss, control, and self-sabotage Practical ways to create space between your thoughts and your truth How to gently rewire your brain with more supportive, regulating thoughts The importance of building your capacity to hold joy — and why it's a practice Insights from the Curious Minds group and the value of community reflection - What stood out the most for you in this episode?

“I'm happiest with my feet off the ground.” – Jenny Cova What if fear wasn't something to conquer... but to dance with? In this soulful and seriously inspiring episode, I'm joined by sky dancer, base jumper, and soon-to-be author Jenny Cova—an extreme athlete who brings pink power, grace, and authenticity to the clouds. But behind a woman literally flying, there's a story of self-doubt and learning to let go of ego. But this isn't just about jumping out of helicopters. It's about getting real with the fears that keep any of us stuck—fear of failure, fear of being too much, fear of the conversations we avoid but know would set us free. Jenny gets radically honest about how perfectionism and ego can destroy joy, and how she had to learn to bring playfulness back into her life.

Have you failed? Did that failure stop you from moving forward?  Did it get you stuck? Failure is a part of life.  Ever watched a child learn to walk?  Success only comes after repeated failures.  Yet that same child keeps on trying, until the child gets it right. What happens in adulthood?  Why does a fear of failing keep us from acting? When we don't take action for fear of failing, we have pre-emptively failed. We have already decided we would fail, so we never even start, guaranteeing we don't get to where you want to go. A few decades ago, I started a business.  It failed miserably.  And it kept me stuck for awhile.  But one day, I realized there was something else to consider about that failure.  There were some lessons I learned. Those are lessons I apply every single day. Let me suggest 3 questions that will help you turn a failure around, and make the failure simply another opportunity.

One of the biggest mistakes I see in leadership? The fear of failure. And guess what? It's not just affecting leaders - it's holding entire teams back.Too many businesses get stuck because their teams are terrified of making mistakes.

Maybe past diets left you feeling like a failure, or life got in the way of your best intentions. But what if failure wasn't proof you can't do this—what if it was just part of learning? Midlife brings enough change as it is. Your energy fluctuates, your body feels different, and let's be real—your schedule is packed. The idea of starting over again can feel exhausting. But the truth? You don't need a total life overhaul. Breaking past fitness failures after 50 and figuring out how to make fitness and nutrition work after 50 starts with small, sustainable steps. So many midlife women tell me they feel stuck because they've “failed” before. But failure isn't final—it's feedback. I've been there, too. When I created Pilates with Resist-A-Ball, I had moments of doubt that almost stopped me from moving forward. In this episode, I'm sharing that story and showing you exactly how to overcome fear of failure in midlife with my SPARK framework—a simple way to shift your mindset, take action, and build momentum without feeling overwhelmed. You don't have to get it perfect, and you don't have to do it all at once. Small wins build confidence and energy, like starting with two short workouts a week or focusing on non-scale victories. You are not too old, and it is not too late. The only way to fail is to stop trying. Fear is normal, but it doesn't have to keep you stuck.

Hey there, it's Michelle Porterfield, and I'm here today to talk about a topic that I know hits home for so many of us - the fear of failure. I get it, the thought of putting yourself out there and potentially falling flat on your face can be downright terrifying. What if I invest in myself and nothing changes? What if I try and I fail? What if I'm just not good enough? These are the kinds of questions that keep us stuck in old patterns, using busyness, wine, and other distractions to avoid the discomfort of growth. But here's the thing - staying stuck is already a form of failure in itself. I want you to really sit with that for a minute. When we stay in our comfort zones, playing it safe, we're already failing at becoming the best version of ourselves. And that's not the life I want for you. So let's talk about where this fear comes from. A lot of it can be traced back to our childhood experiences - things like perfectionist expectations, conditional love, harsh punishments for mistakes, and a lack of emotional support. These formative years shape how we perceive success, failure, and our own self-worth. Maybe you grew up in a home where only perfection was praised. Or your love felt conditional, like you only got approval when you achieved certain things. Perhaps mistakes were met with anger or humiliation, teaching your brain to associate failure with danger. These wounds from the past can manifest in all kinds of self-sabotaging behaviors as adults - avoiding challenges, obsessing over doing things perfectly, procrastinating, and feeling like an imposter when we do succeed. But I'm here to tell you that failure is not the opposite of success. It's a necessary part of the journey. Think about a baby learning to walk - they fall down over and over, but does that stop them? Heck no! They just keep getting back up and trying again. That's the kind of resilience and determination I want to see in all of us. Because the truth is, the path to becoming our best selves is never a straight line. There will be missteps, there will be setbacks. But those are just opportunities to learn, grow, and try again. So how do we break free from this cycle of fear? It starts with reframing our mindset. Instead of seeing failure as this big, scary thing, we need to view it as valuable data - information that tells us what to tweak and try a new way. And you don't have to do this alone. In fact, I'd love to support you on this journey. Whether it's through my podcast, my coaching program, or just a listening ear, I'm here to help you face your fears head-on and experience the freedom and fulfillment that comes with growth. So what do you say - are you ready to start failing forward? If so, I invite you to reach out to me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com. Let's chat about where you're at, where you want to go, and how I can best support you in getting there. The path to becoming your best self isn't always easy, but I promise it's worth it. I can't wait to see what you're capable of. Cheers to facing our fears, Michelle

“Life is not about scoreboard watching.” Ryan Clark  The Super Bowl match up is set and we are down in Orlando with all the guys who didn't make it but had insane seasons this year! That's right, we got the fellas together down here at the Pro Bowl and we are talking the Big Game in the Big Easy, the Quarterback match ups, Andy Reid's greatness, reality of fan culture, new coach hires, personal fears and how we adjust to the unpredictable moments of life.  Ryan, Channing and Fred bring a blend of insight, humor, raw honesty as the trio goes beyond the actual games and talk storylines surrounding the top headlines.  Recapping some of the new coach hires of course starting in Duuuval as Fred shares his reaction to the man in charge and not what he said but how he said it to make it the most played sound bite in sports! Continuing around the league, the guys have fun trying to make sense of Jerry Jones' use of the expression Glory hole while Channing weighs in on his own take on what that means which turns into one of the more hilarious stories on the show!   Turning attention to next week's game, the powerhouse match up between Philadelphia and Kansas City as the Chiefs try to make history with a three-peat while it's a battle of two highly talented quarterbacks with Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. Ryan reflects on how, just two years ago, the focus was solely on their race, but today, it's about their ability as elite quarterbacks—a sign of progress. The conversation continues on how rephrasing the way we talk about black quarterbacks is evolving and we should continue to push the narrative to be on the talent, skill and who the athletes are as people not defined by skin color.  Fred brings up the unapologetic behaviors of fans and how there is no accountability which Ryan agrees where Channing chimes in that being heckled and shit talked by fans comes with the territory when people sign up to be paid millions of dollars to play a sport.  Pivoting to the sad reality for so many, The guys reflect and send a heartfelt message to those impacted by the tragedy of the American Airlines Flight 5342 and use it as a reminder not to take life for granted and understand you never know how the simple things we do daily can not always going as planned.  The guys take a moment and chat about they fear in life whether it's a big over arching fear or something fun in the moment that scares them as Ryan, Channing and Fred each share what's on their mind which leads into a deeper look about the fear of failure by the pressure of success.  As we wrap the conversation, Ryan leaves the guys asking if they could go back in time to redo an awkward moment in life, what would it be and why….the responses are interesting and show a little deeper look into some of the moments that shaped who the guys are today.    Don't forget to hit the subscribe button and follow along with us on our social to get the latest updates and guest surprises.
