“I’m afraid of looking stupid. People will wonder why in the hell I’m doing this!!”

How many of you have had this thought? I know I have.

Even though I’m a professionally trained former TV Newscaster, I was terrified of showing up on video, when I started ProjectME with Tiffany Carter.

I was afraid of what my corporate clients would think. I was afraid of what my high school friends would say. I was afraid of my mom’s reaction and cutting remarks. I was afraid of looking fat. I was afraid that people would think, “oh she thinks she’s all that.”

I knew if I wanted to help thousands and millions of people become financially and emotionally empowered, I had to show up on video over and over and over again. There is no better way (aside from IRL) to build connection, trust, and loyalty with strangers than video.

There were four key things I did to get my self to just do the damn thing:

  1. Record a video and ask an friend to view it and give their genuine feedback. This way if my friend says it’s good, I felt a little better about posting it.
  2. I write out key notes in large print (with a purple sharpie, duh) on a piece of paper, so I can easily glace at my notes, versus trying to remember everything I want to say when I’m nervous.
  3. I make sure to record when my energy is at the high point of the day, like after my morning workout. This way I felt more confident on video and mentally sharp.
  4. I allowed my self room for mistakes, slur of words, weird facial expressions, incomplete sentences, etc… When I anchored the news live at both NBC and CBS for hours at time, all sorts of things happened because we are human and you can’t edit them out. Plus, this makes you more real and relatable to people. When something comes across too curated and perfect, it doesn’t feel as authentic right?

Ep 813 Yes, You’re Having an Identity Crisis! (here’s what it all means)

Are you having an identity crisis… or are you finally becoming the person you’ve been praying for?

If you’ve been questioning everything lately, feeling disconnected from your old goals, struggling to make money the way you used to, or wondering why your business suddenly feels harder than ever… this episode is for you.

The truth is, you’re not confused. You’re not lazy. And you’re not losing your mind.

You’re in the middle of an identity shift.

In this episode, Tiffany Carter breaks down why so many entrepreneurs unknowingly resist becoming the very version of themselves that’s capable of creating the life, business, money, and freedom they want. Your subconscious brain is wired to protect your current identity—even when that identity is keeping you exhausted, overworking, undercharging, procrastinating, or playing small.

Tiffany explains what’s happening through the lens of neuroscience, psychology, subconscious programming, and identity transformation, so you can finally understand why this season feels so uncomfortable… and what to do instead.

If you’ve felt like you’re living between two versions of yourself, this conversation will help you stop fighting the process and start becoming the person your next level requires.
