Are You Afraid of Your Own Power After Divorce? Here’s Why It Feels So Scary

You Say You Want a Comeback… But Do You Really?

Let’s be real—starting over after divorce is terrifying.

And not for the reasons you think.

You might be afraid of making mistakes. Afraid of falling on your face. Afraid of wasting time.

But what if you’re not actually afraid of failing?

What if the real fear—the one keeping you stuck—is the fear of your own success?

The Unspoken Truth About Life After Divorce

If you’re reading this, you’re probably in the thick of post-divorce life. Maybe you’re…
✅ Getting your confidence back, but still second-guessing yourself.
✅ Ready for a fresh start, but feeling overwhelmed by change.
✅ Craving more—more joy, more money, more love—but something is holding you back.

That “something”? It’s not failure.

It’s the unknown.

Because the present feels easier—even if it’s not what you want—because at least it’s familiar. You know how to handle this version of your life.

But success? A full transformation? That’s a new level of uncertainty.

And uncertainty feels… uncontrollable.

Why Your Fear of Success Feels Like Fear of Failure

Here’s what happens when you actually start making moves after divorce:

1️⃣ You begin to change—your mindset, your habits, your standards.
2️⃣ Your old identity starts fading (scary).
3️⃣ You start attracting new opportunities, relationships, and success.
4️⃣ You realize—holy sh*t—I’m actually doing this.
5️⃣ Panic sets in.

Sound familiar?

This fear isn’t fear at all—it’s your body’s reaction to expansion.

F.E.A.R. = Future Events Aren’t Real

A while ago, I heard this acronym, and it changed the game for me:

✨ F.E.A.R. = Future Events Aren’t Real.

That’s it.

Your brain is wired to protect you from the unknown. And stepping into your next level—whether that’s financial abundance, a new relationship, moving cities, or starting a business—triggers that deep survival response.

Even though success is what you want…
Even though it’s what you deserve…
Even though you’re ready for it…

Your nervous system freaks out because it’s not familiar.

What If It Goes Better Than You Can Imagine?

So, let’s flip the script.

Instead of thinking: What if I fail?

Try this: What if it all works out? What if this goes even better than I can imagine?

Because here’s what I know for sure:

🔹 You wouldn’t have this desire for more if you weren’t capable of having it.
🔹 You wouldn’t be reading this if your next level wasn’t calling you forward.
🔹 You wouldn’t be drawn to change if you weren’t meant to grow.

The fear you’re feeling? It’s not a stop sign.

It’s your invitation to step up.

How to Move Past the Fear & Step Into Your Power

If you’ve been avoiding your next level because it feels scary, I want you to try this:

1️⃣ Identify the fear. Is it fear of failure, or fear of success? Be honest with yourself.
2️⃣ Reframe it. What if the unknown isn’t scary—but actually exciting?
3️⃣ Regulate your nervous system. Breathwork, journaling, guided meditations—get comfortable with discomfort.
4️⃣ Take small, intentional actions. The more you practice stepping into the unknown, the easier it gets.
