The Mess Behind the Success - Therapist Confessions

The Mess Behind the Success - Therapist Confessions

Welcome to The Mess Behind the Success podcast where therapists come together to normalise failure and to remove the shame that lands in our bodies when we feel we aren’t enough. Consider this the antidote to the polished version of business and entrepreneurship that we often see online. It’s a place for vulnerable and messy conversations that go beyond the surface. Honest conversations about failure, courses, launches and ideas that didn't work. Imposter and visibility fears and how we move through those blocks in a way that feels aligned for your nervous system.
