Why Anxiety Peaks Right Before Business Breakthroughs

If you’ve ever thought, “Everything is working… so why do I feel worse?”.. then same I have been there before AND this episode is for you.

Anxiety often spikes right before expansion, not because something is wrong, but because something unfamiliar is happening. Especially for mothers, growth can trigger deep nervous system responses around safety, responsibility, risk tolerance and identity.

In this episode, I unpack why anxiety shows up at the edge of big business breakthroughs.

In this episode, we explore:

• The common emotional pattern women experience right before business expansion
• Why growth feels threatening to the nervous system (even when it’s desired)
• How motherhood intensifies the fear of risk, visibility, and responsibility
• The identity conflict between the caretaker and the desiring leader
• Why anxiety is often a threshold, not a warning sign
• The three most common ways women self-sabotage during business growth
• What actually helps during these seasons (hint: it’s not mindset fixing)
• How structure, repetition, and self-trust stabilize growth

With love,
