I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success.   Most high performers have a mental checklist of things they think they need to fix: the anxiety, the imposter syndrome, the procrastination, the people-pleasing. And the belief is that once it's all cleaned up, THEN they'll go after the big goal. That day never comes. In this episode, I share my own version of this trap (including the posture story I've been carrying for decades), introduce the concept of dialectical thinking from DBT, and give you a simple reframe: two things can be true at once. You can have problems AND be wildly successful. You can feel nervous AND take bold action. You don't need to fix anything. You can if you want to, but you don't need to.   \ud83c\udfaf In this episode, I riff on:      \u21a0 Why high achievers wrongly believe they need to \u201cfix themselves\u201d before succeeding      \u21a0 The myth of the finish line where you suddenly have no problems      \u21a0 How imposter syndrome and anxiety can coexist with elite performance      \u21a0 The hidden cost of constantly trying to self-improve from a place of inadequacy      \u21a0 A powerful reframe: what if your \u201cflaws\u201d aren\u2019t problems at all?      \u21a0 The shift from \u201cI need to fix this\u201d to \u201cI can change this if I want to\u201d      \u21a0 How self-acceptance actually reduces pressure and improves performance      \u21a0 Understanding your brain as a prediction machine, not a truth-teller      \u21a0 Why your thoughts about being \u201cnot good enough\u201d aren\u2019t facts      \u21a0 The concept of \u201cboth can be true\u201d (dialectical thinking) in performance      \u21a0 How to take action even when confidence isn\u2019t there      \u21a0 Reframing anxiety as a performance-enhancing feature, not a bug      \u21a0 The role of your inner child in triggering reactions and self-doubt      \u21a0 A practical way to respond to negative thoughts with self-compassion      \u21a0 How reducing resistance softens the intensity of your internal struggles   PS.
