Are you tired of feeling stuck, paralyzed by the fear of failing or—ironically—even succeeding? As ambitious female entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves caught in this frustrating contradiction. We’re driven to achieve, yet these same ambitions can keep us trapped in cycles of perfectionism, procrastination, and burnout.
Here’s the truth: these patterns aren’t just habits. They’re deeply rooted fears in our subconscious minds, wired to protect us. But what if I told you that you don’t have to carry this baggage anymore? That you can rewire your brain for success and step into your full potential?

The Subconscious Mind: Your Hidden Powerhouse
Our conscious mind—the part we’re aware of—only accounts for about 5-8% of our brain’s processing power. The other 92-95%? That’s all our subconscious minds!
This subconscious part of our brain is like a well-meaning but overprotective friend. It’s trying to keep us safe based on past experiences, but in doing so, it can hold us back from reaching our true potential.
Breaking Free from the U-Haul of Your Past
Imagine packing up all your past experiences, traumas, and limiting beliefs into a U-Haul. Now picture yourself dragging that U-Haul behind you every time you try to move forward in your business. Exhausting, right?
The honest truth? You don’t have to keep lugging that U-Haul around. You can unpack it, sort through what’s truly serving you, and leave the rest behind.
Reframing Your Story: From Failure to Redirection
One of the most powerful tools in rewiring your subconscious is reframing your experiences. Let me share a personal story to help illustrate this.
When I had to close my fashion brand, I was devastated. For nine months, I was paralyzed by the fear of failure. Society tells us that walking away means we’ve failed, right?
But as I dug deeper, I realized something crucial: I had been experiencing depression and panic attacks for 18 months leading up to closing my brand. Was it really a failure to walk away from something that was causing me extreme distress? Or was it a redirection, inviting me to step into a new reality?
The Power of Perspective Shift
By reframing this experience, I was able to see it not as a failure, but as a stepping stone that catapulted me into my next chapter of life. This shift in perspective was what allowed me to step more easily into the success I’ve experienced in my current business for the last 10 years.
Envisioning Your Future Self: The Key to Unlocking Your Potential
Here’s something crucial to understand: our subconscious brain speaks in pictures. When we’re stuck in fear, we’re holding ourselves in the past, unable to envision what’s possible for our future.
To break free from this cycle, we need to give our subconscious a new picture to work with – a vision of our future successful self.
The Vision That Became Reality
On December 25th, 2015, just nine months after closing my fashion brand, I sat on top of Mount Hollywood with my journal. I wrote out in vivid detail what success looked like to me – who I was surrounding myself with, the impact I was making, the money I was earning, where I was living.
For months, I tapped into this vision every single day, living into those future successes even before they showed up in my life.
Fast forward to August 2016, and I was stunned to realize that almost everything I had envisioned had manifested into my reality. My businesses were thriving, I had just had my first $50,000 launch, and I was moving into my dream apartment.
Your Invitation to Defy Reality
So, my ambitious friend, I have a challenge for you: It’s time to unpack your U-Haul, shift your perspective, and anchor your identity in your future successes.
Here are three powerful steps to get you started:
- Identify your narratives: What stories are you holding onto about success and failure that no longer serve you?
- Reframe your experiences: How can you shift your perspective on past “failures” to see them as redirections or learning experiences?
- Envision your future self: Who is the you that’s already living into those future successes without the fears of failure and success?
Remember, your fears of success and failure are completely normal, but you don’t have to be ruled by them. Your potential is incredibly great, and taking these intentional steps towards your growth and evolution can only result in more success.
Are you ready to defy reality and step into your full potential? Your future successful self is waiting for you to catch up.
