    (Ep 38) Blue Belt Blues: Why You Suddenly Suck After a Promotion

    This episode explores the “blue belt blues”: the sudden drop in confidence and performance many feel after a promotion.

They offer practical advice: humble yourself, keep showing up, use competition constructively, focus on skill acquisition over status, and embrace the long-term journey. Tips include finding new goals, practicing weaknesses, teaching others, and remembering the belt is a checkpoint, not the reward. Overall, the episode is a pep talk to stay consistent, find challenges, and enjoy the process so you don’t quit when the honeymoon period ends. Please remember to follow, rate and review!
