About this episode

Sarah Grynberg discusses the reasons behind self-sabotage when life is going well.

Why do we sometimes sabotage the very things we’ve worked so hard to get? In this short episode of Sarah’s Thoughts , mindset coach Sarah Grynberg explores why love, success and stability can sometimes make us want to pull away, create conflict or blow things up just when life is going well. You’ll learn why your brain can mistake familiar for safe, how past experiences can shape what feels “normal”, and what to do when something good suddenly starts making you uncomfortable. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep getting in your own way, this episode might change the way you see your behaviour. Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.
