Success scares smart people. Not because we can’t handle growth, but because our emotions whisper worst-case stories that keep us stuck on a tiny two-inch ledge we’re convinced is a cliff. I unpack how procrastination, perfectionism, and “control freak” habits are just labels masking fear—of outcomes, of judgment, of losing control—and why more checklists won’t fix an emotional problem.

I walk you through a simple path: name what you feel, set real standards, capture your “secret sauce” with SOPs, and lead by managing progress—not doing the work yourself. You’ll hear how I hit walls, learned to hire, and stopped letting old stories run the show. If you’re ready to step off that ledge, this is your nudge to build emotional resilience, take clear action, and grow without burning out.

Key Takeaways:

· How to spot fear hiding behind “procrastinator,” “perfectionist,” and “control freak” labels—and what to do next.

· A practical way to use an emotion wheel to defuse outcome fear and restart momentum.

· The leadership shift from doing to guiding: set a gold standard, build SOPs, and run tight check-ins.

· A two-step hiring flow: objective self-assessment first, live interview second, so you trust your gut with data.

· Why psychological strength drives 85–90% of success—and how to build it without therapy jargon.

About Rebecca:

In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong. Despite building a wildly successful digital marketing business, remarrying and growing my family to four kids, I felt nothing but dread each morning.

Then came what I now call Epiphany Town. It was that electric moment when I stopped defining my life by what happened to me and began building on purpose. That phase lit me up in a way I had never felt. Now I devote every ounce of my energy to guiding others through their own version of Epiphany Town. I help them find the barriers that are actually holding them back, finally let go of self-sabotaging stories, and leap into a life that is meaningful and deeply fulfilling.

I believe each of us has a story to tell, a gift to offer, and a life worth waking up for. Whether your goal is to impact one person or a million, I am here to help you see your place, claim your voice, and live your life on your terms.
