Have you been doing the right things, trying harder, learning more, showing up, but still feeling blocked? This episode will help you understand why childhood trauma can block your success, even when you are capable, motivated, and full of potential.
In Episode 77, How Childhood Trauma Can Block Your Success (Even When You’re Doing the Right Things), Billy unpacks three trauma-driven protection patterns that sabotage success: perfectionism, procrastination, and overgiving. These are not personality flaws. They are nervous system strategies that once kept you safe, and now keep you stuck.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why success can feel unsafe when you grew up with criticism, rejection, or instability
• How perfectionism hides fear and delays your visibility
• Why procrastination is often a freeze response, not laziness
• How overgiving leads to burnout, resentment, and undercharging
• Simple shifts to build safety, boundaries, and self-trust
Tune into this episode and choose one gentle shift today. Your success does not need more pressure. It needs emotional safety, self-trust, and steady self-leadership.
