Show Notes

In 2022, after making a rash emotional decision to pause my book process, I got a piece of advice from a mentor that changed my life: Nobody cares.

Here's the truth: You aren't afraid of failure. You're afraid of what other people will think of you if you fail.


The Spotlight Effect is a psychological phenomenon whereby we overestimate the degree to which other people are noticing or observing our appearance, actions, behaviors, or results. Nobody cares. So, go do the damn thing.
