Have you ever felt like your business success defines your worth? That every low-engagement post, failed launch, or quiet inbox is proof that you’re not good enough? You’re not alone. Many entrepreneurs unknowingly fall into a psychological trap known as stamp collecting—accumulating emotional “proof” that they’re failing.

In this episode, I break down how this subconscious pattern keeps business owners stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, burnout, and self-sabotage.

Drawing from Transactional Analysis, I’ll show you how to recognize these hidden beliefs, break free from them, and finally start creating from a place of confidence rather than fear. If you’re tired of feeling like your business is a never-ending test of your worth, this conversation is for you.
