Person contemplating their career path

"The Fear Audit showed me exactly why I was stuck. I've been in the same job for 12 years, and now I finally understand what's holding me back."

— Michael T., Former Banking Executive

You're Not Lazy or Unmotivated.
You're Stuck Between Two Fears

One fear keeps you where you are. The other fears what might happen if you leave. Until you know which fear is stronger, you'll stay frozen in place.

Financial Insecurity

"I can't leave - I have bills to pay. What if I can't make it work financially? I need the stability this job offers."

Common thoughts:

  • "I need at least 12 months of savings"
  • "I can't afford to take a pay cut"
  • "The economy is too unstable to risk it"

Fear of Judgment

"What will people think if I walk away? After all this investment in my career, leaving would look like failure."

Common thoughts:

  • "My family will think I'm throwing it all away"
  • "My colleagues will see me as a quitter"
  • "I'll lose respect and status in my community"

Identity Loss

"Who am I without this job? My title is how I introduce myself. I'm not sure who I'd be without it."

Common thoughts:

  • "My career is central to how I see myself"
  • "I'll feel lost without my professional identity"
  • "My purpose is tied to what I do professionally"

"I spent two years talking about leaving medicine. Every day I came up with a new reason not to leave. Financial concerns one day, fear of disappointing my parents the next, worrying about who I'd be without 'Dr.' in front of my name after that. I was paralyzed by these fears until I recognized them for what they were - protection mechanisms, not reality."

About the Creator

Meet Dr. Sarah

As a former physician who spent 8 years in medicine, I understand the fear of leaving a stable career. I stayed 2 extra years out of fear—afraid of financial instability, judgment from colleagues and family, and losing my identity as "Dr. Sarah."

When I finally left, I had to face each of these fears head-on. I created The Fear Audit because I wish I'd had a tool to help me identify and work through my fears sooner.

Today, I've helped over 2,400 professionals identify and overcome the specific fears holding them back from career transitions. The Fear Audit condenses everything I've learned into a 10-minute assessment that gives you clarity and actionable next steps.

Common Questions

You Might Be Wondering...

These are the questions most people ask before taking The Fear Audit.

How is this different from other career assessments?

Most career assessments focus on skills, interests, or personality types. The Fear Audit focuses specifically on the psychological blockers preventing you from making a change you already know you want to make. It's not about finding a new career—it's about removing the obstacles to change.

Will this actually help me make a decision?

The Fear Audit won't make the decision for you. What it will do is show you exactly which fear is keeping you stuck so you can address it directly. Our data shows that 73% of people who take the audit and implement the micro-actions take concrete steps toward change within 60 days.

How long will this take?

The assessment takes exactly 10 minutes to complete. You'll receive your results immediately, including your fear profile and customized micro-actions. Reading and digesting the results takes about 15 minutes. Implementing the micro-actions varies but typically requires 15-30 minutes per action.

I already know I'm afraid of financial insecurity. How will this help?

What many people discover is that what they think is their primary fear often isn't. Many who believe they're afraid of financial risk discover their deeper fear is judgment or identity loss. The audit helps you identify which fear is truly driving your behavior—and often, it's surprising.

What if I've already tried other resources and nothing's worked?

Most resources focus on strategies (how to save money, how to find a new job) without addressing the underlying psychological blocks. The Fear Audit focuses specifically on the internal barriers, which is often what makes the difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

Is this a substitute for therapy or coaching?

No. The Fear Audit is a self-assessment tool that provides clarity and initial action steps. It complements therapy or coaching but doesn't replace the personalized guidance those provide. Many people use the audit as a starting point before seeking more intensive support.

Why Take Action Today?

The Cost of Staying Stuck

Every day you stay paralyzed by unnamed fear is a day lost to possibility. What's the true cost of waiting?

Time Lost

The average person spends 3.7 years in a job they want to leave before taking action. That's 1,350 days of your life you'll never get back.

"I stayed 2 years longer than I needed to. Those are years I'll never get back."

Mental Health Impact

Staying in a job that doesn't align with your values increases your risk of anxiety by 68% and burnout by 87%, according to research.

"My health was deteriorating, but I kept telling myself 'just one more year.'"

Financial Opportunity

While you worry about financial security, you're missing opportunities. Those who made the leap report an average 32% increase in income within 18 months.

"I was so afraid of losing money that I never realized I was limiting my earning potential."

The Truth About Time

Every day you delay understanding your fear is another day lived in indecision. The Fear Audit takes just 10 minutes—that's 0.007% of your day—to potentially change the trajectory of your career and life.

You've already spent months (or years) thinking about change. Isn't it time to understand exactly what's holding you back?
