Introduction:

Meet the 6 Limiting Belief Types & Discover Yours

Have you ever felt like something invisible is holding you back?
You’re doing the work, trying to grow your business or live more fully, but… something just keeps getting in the way. You second-guess yourself. Procrastinate. Doubt your ideas. Say yes when you mean no.

The truth is, we all carry inner stories, these are beliefs formed long ago that quietly shape our confidence, decisions, reality and dreams.
Most of the time, we don’t even realise they’re running the show.

That’s exactly why I created a free quiz:
👉 Which Limiting Belief Is Holding You Back?

Mindset tools for entrepreneurs: overcome limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome, and stress to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

It helps you spot the unconscious belief that’s been driving your inner dialogue, so you can finally start to shift it.

But before you dive in, let me introduce you to the 6 belief types.

See which one speaks to you…


🌙 The Hidden Dreamer

“It’s safer not to try than to risk failing.”
You have big ideas and deep potential, but you’re stuck in the planning phase — waiting for the “right time.” Underneath, there’s a fear that maybe you’re not ready… or not enough.

So you stay behind the scenes, dreaming but doubting.


🎯 The Over-Achiever

“I must prove my worth.”
You’re constantly pushing, achieving, ticking boxes — but it never feels like enough. Rest feels indulgent (or terrifying), and success only counts for a moment before you're chasing the next thing.

Deep down, you tie your value to what you do.


🪞 The Inner Critic

“I’m not good enough.”
That inner voice? Brutal. Even when things go well, it whispers (or shouts) that you should’ve done more, better, faster.

It holds you back from celebrating, from trusting yourself, and from stepping fully into your power.


🎭 The People Pleaser

“I have to keep everyone happy.”
You’re kind, reliable, and always there for others, but your own needs get buried. Saying no feels selfish, and you fear letting people down.

So you shrink yourself, play small, and doubt your right to take up space.


The Perfectionist

“If it’s not perfect, I’ve failed.”
You hold yourself to impossible standards. Nothing ever feels finished, good enough, or worthy of sharing.

That belief keeps you stuck in hesitation, burnout, or a loop of overworking, and still feeling like it’s not enough.


👁️‍🗨️ The Shadow Hider

“If people really see me — they’ll judge me or reject me.”
You hide your magic. You play it safe.

The idea of being truly seen feels vulnerable and risky, so you stay quiet, dim your light, and avoid the spotlight… even though part of you longs to shine.


✨ Which One Are You?

Most people relate to more than one, but there’s usually one that leads the way.

When you understand your core belief type, you can stop fighting yourself — and start healing what’s really underneath it.
This is the first step to real confidence, clarity, and showing up in your business without fear or burnout.
