Ep 2: When Your Biggest Supporter Becomes Your Secret Hater

What happens when the person who once cheered the loudest for your dreams can’t celebrate you actually achieving them?

In this episode of The Queen’s Table, I share the story of my cousin Marcus—the man who mentored me, supported me, and pushed me to dream bigger—until my success threatened his identity as the family’s “most successful.”

Here’s what we’ll uncover together:

  • Why mentors can turn into critics when you surpass their level
  • The Underdog Theory—why people love your potential but struggle with your achievement
  • The psychology of status displacement and why success feels like survival to some people
  • The hidden “emotional management tax” of wealth that no one warns you about

Outgrowing mentors isn’t betrayal—it’s the natural result of taking their advice seriously. But it comes with a cost: navigating the power dynamics your success disrupts.
