Ep 41: Why Your Brain Thinks Success Will Kill You (Part 2 of Summer Series on Becoming)

Why Your Brain Thinks Success Will Kill You

Summer Series on Becoming - Episode 2


Episode Summary: In this deep dive into subconscious fears, I explore why your survival brain might be protecting you from the very success you're working so hard to achieve. Through real examples and a step-by-step process, I reveal how fears of success trace back to primal survival mechanisms and share exactly how to rewire these hidden programs.


What You'll Learn:

• Why your subconscious mind (95% of your brain) might be sabotaging your conscious goals
• The difference between fear of failure and fear of success - and why the latter is more dangerous
• How to access your subconscious mind through theta brainwave states
• My exact process for uncovering "bottom fears" that always trace back to death, isolation, or abandonment
• Why your business is actually a spiritual practice and powerful mirror for growth
• The integration method I use with clients to rewire subconscious programs
• How to write personalized statements that give your brain permission to succeed
• Why I prefer "embodying your vision" over traditional manifestation approaches

Key Quotes:

"Your subconscious mind has 95% of the processing power of your brain - which means it's driving most of your results, not your logical thinking."

"Here's what breaks my heart - if I know that you can be so freaking awesome and amazing (because you already are), but there are subconscious fears holding you back from stepping into your real magic."

"Your business is going to be this huge mirror, this beautiful teacher that brings up everything - the worries, the insecurity, the not knowing."

"That part of your brain is saying, you know what, if we make this big change of making that much more money, I'm actually going to die."

"I won't lie to you about that because that's ain't no fun when you discover these fears."

"What is real is that if you have a desire to do something, it is there for you, that you can step into your potential."

The Bottom Fear Process Breakdown:

I walk through my exact method for uncovering subconscious success fears:

Step 1: Get into theta brainwave state (close eyes, deep breathing)
Step 2: Imagine having your biggest goal achieved effortlessly
Step 3: Ask your subconscious: "What could possibly go wrong? What could break in my life?"
Step 4: For each fear, keep asking "What's scary about that?" until you reach the bottom
Step 5: Write your integration statement using the word "without"

Your Success Fear Toolkit

The Money Example I Use:

• Want to make 200K/year → "Who am I to deserve this?" → Feeling guilty → People being envious → Losing friends → Complete isolation → Depression → "This life isn't worth living"

Warning Signs You're Not Going Deep Enough:

• Getting logical answers like "nothing bad would happen"

• Staying in your prefrontal cortex (thinking mind) instead of accessing subconscious

• Missing the emotional, illogical, or image-based responses

Integration Statement Format: 
"I already know who I am having [your goal] in complete alignment with my values, WITHOUT [list every fear you discovered], ultimately without dying or disappearing."

This Week's Homework: 
Try the bottom fear process with one goal you've been struggling to achieve. Write down what comes up - even if it feels illogical or dramatic. Remember: these aren't your conscious thoughts, they're subconscious programs running in the background.
