Why it’s so hard to feel “ahead”

I had a client come to a call recently and say:

“I am so ahead on this launch in every way. In terms of emails written, content created, and sales are outpacing our goal.”

So YAY right? But then she says…

“So what am I forgetting or missing here?”

I’m sorry. Um. What?

But also, this didn’t totally surprise me because for us high achieving eldest daughter types… we often find it so hard to get “ahead” and even when we objectively do, we assume something is wrong.

And this extends to everything from a launch and our big goals, to feeling like we can’t take a breath and turn off for the day.

So we talked about that (and how to shift it) on Monday, February 23, 2026 at 1pm ET inside The Lit Up & Loaded Entrepreneur.

Now let me be clear… I don’t have a magic wand, but I have a LOT of personal experience with this (both with myself and my clients) and shared a ton re: identity, pattern shifting, and practical strategies.
