Welcome back to “Questionably Awesome!” Today, Evans and I answer your questions about finding your first client and balancing masculine and feminine energy.

Jodi Katzin asks: “I have worked with a few business coaches and still am having trouble getting that first client! I work so hard on my posts but, with a small following and the algorithm, I don’t know how many eyes are actually landing on them, so I get discouraged easily. I guess my question would be if there are ways outside of social media to get things off the ground.”

Bailey Barcellos asks: “How do you balance the masculine ‘get it done’ energy with feminine energy when running a successful business!?”

I love how Lori truly wants to help and serve her listeners. The variety of content she produces is amazing and I love how vulnerable and real she is. It’s inspirational to see her and Chris showing #relationshipgoals in their episodes. Thanks for serving!

Some of you might have something holding you back that you don’t even know about. It’s deeply rooted in your subconscious and it’s stopping you from achieving what you want in life. That thing is a hidden fear of success. It might sound funny at first, but it’s a very real fear that many people experience. But, how do you squash that fear when you might not even be aware it exists?

The first step to getting over a fear of success is understanding what it is. Deep down, the fear of success is usually just the sum of many micro-fears of change. How will your life change if you succeed? How will it be better — and how will it be worse? The truth is that you will lose some things when you reach your goals, even before, on your journey toward them. Friends may be jealous. Family may question your skill set. You have to weigh these against everything else you stand to gain and have gained already.

There are a few things holding you back:

• We think that we have unspoken agreements with people that we will always stay the same. But no one stays the same. Even more, you’re not supposed to.
• Good is the enemy of great. What often holds you back from greatness is the fear of letting go of a life that’s “good enough.”
• Fear of more work as you become more successful.

It’s possible to work around all of these. More than fear of change, we should be afraid of staying the same. In hindsight, it will be impossible to imagine ever staying in your life the way it was. We should always be growing and adapting.

I grew up looking up to Gabby Reece and, after this interview, I guarantee you will too. She’s the epitome of the ultimate athlete. Our conversation today is one of my favorite topics: overcoming mental challenges. She talks about so much, from learning to embrace the “suck” to creating mental wins out of the challenges in life in order to make your life more fulfilling and meaningful.

Question Highlights:

• What are you loving about life?
• What are some of the lessons you learned from fitness that you still apply today?
• How are you managing your business internally with all of your growth?
• How do you get out of your head and learn to trust your gut?
• What does pivoting look like?
