Thinking traps are sneaky, sticky, and seriously good at keeping you stuck. They show up quietly, when you miss a day of posting and convince yourself the whole launch is a flop, or when you assume someone didn’t buy because they think you aren’t good enough.
In this episode, we’re unpacking the seven most common thinking traps that business owners fall into, and exactly how to get out of them. These mental spirals might feel true in the moment, but they’re often just your primitive brain running the show.
You’ll learn how to recognize these traps, separate yourself from the stories, and step back into clarity and logic, so you can run your business from grounded confidence, not fear.
In this episode:
The 7 thinking traps that trip up smart, ambitious entrepreneurs
How to spot when your caveman brain has taken the wheel
The 3-step process to climb out of the mental pit and back into your power
Why emotion-based decisions often stall growth (and what to do instead)
Easy questions to ask yourself when you’re spiraling or doubting
This isn’t about being perfect or never overthinking again. It’s about learning how to shift faster, think clearly, and stay anchored, no matter what business throws your way.
