110. What Would You Lose If You Got Everything You Wanted?
Tue Feb 03 2026
What if the thing blocking your next level in business isn’t your strategy… but your sense of safety?
In this episode of Simply Own It, Kelly McIntee gets radically honest about the real fear high-achieving women carry around success — not “what if I fail,” but what if I actually get everything I want… and lose the people and life I love in the process?
We’ll unpack:
The sneaky ways fear of success shows up as “being strategic” — constant tinkering, tweaking, and rebuilding your business backend
Why you keep undercharging, overgiving, and calling it “being humble”
The deeper belief that you can’t have both: a wildly successful business and a deeply loving, supportive relationship
A raw client story: how one woman stopped gripping her relationship, trusted her mission, and watched her business finally pop off
How to spot where you’re fixing what isn’t broken instead of trusting yourself, your people, and your offers
If your life looks “fine” on the outside but you feel braced for the other shoe to drop every time something starts going well, this episode will feel uncomfortably seen — in the best way.
You’ll walk away with powerful reflection questions like:
What would I lose if I got everything I wanted?What do I believe success will cost me?
…and the reminder that you’re not broken or behind — you’re simply protecting something precious. And that’s exactly where your next level begins.
