Three incredible women showed up in the Conscious Conversations Café to talk openly and honestly about why women hold back – whether it’s the fear of failure or the fear of success (two very different things) – and just what happens when women feel comfortable in their own skins and take the leap, often without a net.  Some points of interest from the conversation:

• Before you judge your success, you must determine what “success” means to you.  What does it look like?  When will you think you’re successful?
• If you’re holding back, determine what’s behind it.  What are you afraid of if you suddenly became “successful”?
• What stereotypes do you associate with “successful” women?
• Do women support other women?  Or, can that be something we talk about a lot but in practice, fall short of doing?
• If you’re moving forward, there will always be something to strive for, attempt, or create.  So, the “fear of success” around an issue can show up many times.  “Success” and the way you define it, is not a static thing.
• Remember to let YOU shine through in your endeavors – not a copy of someone else.

Tune in, get some relief that you’re not the only one who faces fear and get ready to take your leap.  You’ll be so glad you did.
