Hello, Visionista, welcome back!

In this episode, we flip the mirror on impostor tendencies that push you away from success: the shrinking, the busywork, the silence after a win. Learn to identify your personal avoidance signals, track the reactions that follow wins, and establish simple Success Steward Rituals so success feels safe, steady, and sustainable.

 

Reflection Prompts:

  1. List your last three wins. What did you do immediately after each one?

  2. When success arrives, what story runs through your mind? (“This won’t last,” “Now they’ll expect more.”)

  3. Where do you feel tension in your body as success nears?

 

This Week's Strategies:

  • Success Signal Map 

  • Success Steward Rituals  

This Week’s Action Step(s): 

  1. Complete your Success Signal Map and identify one trigger.

  2. Choose one Success Steward Ritual to practice before/after your next milestone.

  3. Celebrate out loud: share one win publicly and one lesson learned.
