Ep 61: What To Do If You Have Insecure Overachiever Syndrome

 
 

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

  • When we feel insecure we have to look at what we’re thinking. Our thoughts create our feelings.

  • Overachievers often feel insecure and think the way to feel secure is to overachieve. SPOILER ALERT: This doesn’t work….it only leads to burn out.

  • How envisioning your Future Self and deciding what to believe helps build your confidence and gets you out of this trap.

SHOW NOTES

I used to joke that as a woman in the tech industry, believing I wasn't smart enough was just an occupational hazard.

You’re surrounded by the most brilliant people on the planet every day which is pretty amazing right?

...at least until the constant compare-and-despair sets in.

The funny thing about Insecure Overachiever Syndrome is that your brain is actually TRYING to help you, it’s just not effective. It puts you into a place of self doubt and anxiety.

The good news is there is a way to manage Insecure Overachiever Syndrome. If compare-and-despair is the problem, then the solution is Compare-and-Explore.

Tune into this week's episode to dive into how to apply this cognitive tool to your life and start seeing results in 30 days!
