Why Leaders Get Stuck: Overcoming Fear of Change in Business Growth | EP 29

Send a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) You built something from nothing, your systems, your team, your entire identity wrapped up in the thing you call your business. And then one day, quietly, something stops fitting. Maybe it's a role on your team, a service you've been offering for years, or the way you've been showing up as a leader. You can see it clearly. You could draw a diagram of exactly what needs to shift. And yet... you don't move. You reorganize your desk. You answer emails. You tell yourself you'll get to it. Sound familiar? That frozen feeling isn't weakness and it isn't laziness. It's something far more human and far more fixable than most people realize.

You can have the new org chart drafted, the offer revamped, the plan documented and still feel completely frozen. That's because strategy lives in the mind, but resistance lives in the body. What hasn't been processed is the grief; the version of yourself you're leaving behind, the control you're releasing, the identity you've tied to the way things used to be.  Naming your fear takes away its power. Vague fear is loud. Named fear is workable. We share a practical technique of personifying your inner critic — giving your negative self-talk an actual name, separate from who you really are — so you can catch it in the moment, call it out, and make decisions from a grounded place instead of a reactive one.  The next time you catch yourself avoiding the very th Support the show (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2277708/su...)
