630 | The Science Behind Why Success is So Hard
Progress can look a lot like failure. Especially in the messy middle, when your confidence drops and you start to question if your doubt is a sign to stop. But it's not — it's actually a normal response to the discomfort of growth.
This episode breaks down the science behind why success feels so hard and how belief work can keep confidence alive in the messy middle. You'll learn how to calm your nervous system and still keep showing up, even when your brain tells you to quit.
Topics discussed:
- The “messy middle” phase of growth
- Confidence and the Dunning-Kruger effect
- Why the brain chooses failure over uncertainty
- Why belief work is the foundation for success
- How to keep confidence alive and stay grounded in the process
