Fear of failure gets all the attention, but what about the fear of success? Yep, it’s real—and we’re diving into it on today’s episode of Not Nice, Clever. We’re breaking down why hitting that next level can feel just as paralyzing as falling short. Whether it’s the pressure to maintain success, the fear of being judged, or the worry of outgrowing your old life, you’re not alone if these thoughts have crossed your mind.

We’ll unpack the sneaky ways self-sabotage shows up (missing deadlines, making excuses, turning down opportunities) and how it keeps you stuck. But don’t worry—we’re not leaving you there. We’re sharing how to reframe your mindset, shift from fear to excitement, and start seeing success as a journey, not a burden. If you’re ready to stop holding yourself back and start embracing what’s possible, this episode is a must-listen!
