Are you sitting there thinking, “Once I finally get that promotion... once I hit six figures... once I finish this certification... then I'll stop doubting myself?” If so, I want to offer something that might surprise you. That self-doubt, it doesn't go away. Not at the next level, and not after the next milestone. In fact, the more successful you become, the sneakier self-doubt gets.

I've seen this pattern in almost every high-performing client I've worked with, especially accountants, CPAs, and high-stress professionals who are constantly balancing perfection, performance, and pressure.

Fear and excitement feel a lot alike in the body. The racing heart, the urgency, the pressure to act quickly. But if you cannot tell which one you are feeling in the moment, you are more likely to make decisions you regret later, either saying no too soon or saying yes too fast.In this episode, I am unpacking how fear and excitement impact our judgment and why slowing down just enough to catch what you are feeling can change everything.
