You compare yourself to people who have already launched their podcast, business, or dream career and feel like they've taken your spot.
You’re torn between “I should be grateful” and “I’m meant for more”—and that tension keeps you second-guessing every move.
You want to exude confidence and self-trust so you stop filtering every decision through el qué dirán.
You have 15+ tabs of ‘research’ open for your dream project… but the start button never gets clicked.
You’re prepared to make a bold career move (pivot, promotion, new industry) even if everyone says the market is competitive.
You’re surrounded by people who love you but don’t get your vision—so you second-guess yourself instead of going for it.
