There’s a funny thing that happens the moment you start experiencing growth…
Your brain freaks out.
Even when things are going well, you might feel subtle sabotage creeping in
— procrastination, perfectionism, hiding, overthinking.
That tiny voice whispering,
“What if you fail?” or “What if people judge you?”
But what if success isn’t something to survive?
What if the key to navigating it with confidence is self-trust?
That’s exactly what Julia Kristina and I unpacked in this week’s powerful episode of the Expert Edge.
Julia’s a therapist, coach, and creator who’s helped thousands break through emotional patterns that hold them back — and in this conversation, she dives deep into how high performers (like you) can stop white-knuckling their way through growth and actually enjoy it.

Here are a few insights you’ll walk away with:
- Subtle Self-Sabotage Is Sneaky You don’t have to “fall apart” to be sabotaging your growth. Julia explains how high performers often self-sabotage in disguise — through over-preparing, second-guessing, or keeping themselves just a little smaller than they’re capable of being.
- Your Weird Is Your Win Julia shares her journey from trying to be “cool” to embracing her depth, sensitivity, and inner nerd — and how fully owning your uniqueness is often the very thing that creates the most impact.
- Build Scaffolding for Success If you want to grow sustainably, you need a structure that supports you emotionally — especially when you fail. That’s where intentional self-talk, mindset training, and emotional resilience come in.
That’s just a few nuggets…
But this episode is full of wisdom that applies to anyone building something meaningful
— especially if you’ve ever felt like your own worst enemy when things start going too well.
