Unblocked
Welcome to Unblocked with Jessica Smarro, the podcast for bold conversations, deep shifts, and real freedom. We go beyond surface-level hacks and dive straight into the real work of unlearning the conditioning, rewiring the patterns, and reclaiming the parts of you that were never broken, just buried.
Each episode is a bold invitation to challenge your programming, expand your inner freedom, and lead a life that actually feels like yours. This is where insight meets integration, where success meets soul, and where high performers come to feel more fully alive.
You are already whole. Now let’s live like it.

Ep. 169 Freedom From Disappointment
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I have a rule: if somebody's going to be disappointed by my decisions, let it not be me.
In this episode, I'm talking about one of the most common reasons smart, capable people hold back — the fear of being disappointed. Aka, a feeling.
Protecting yourself from disappointment doesn't actually protect you. It just moves the disappointment earlier. You're already deciding you can't have what you want.
In this episode I cover:
- Why "lowering your goal so you're not disappointed" is still disappointing yourself
- The real questions to ask when you're holding back
- My SPACE framework for actually feeling your feelings
- The thought work piece
- Why "having your back" is one of the most strategic things you can do
