Confessions of a Midlife Self-Saboteur
About this episode
In this episode, Gloria Grace Rand shares her experiences with self-sabotage in midlife and offers tools to overcome it.
Started strong, then quietly stopped and judged yourself for it? You’re not alone. In this episode, I confess my status as a midlife self-saboteur when it comes to food and my business – and the fear of success hiding underneath it all. Plus, you’ll hear about five simple tools I’m employing to help myself and other self-saboteurs get off the hamster wheel, one day at a time. If you’ve ever set a goal with the best of intentions, made real progress, and then watched yourself quietly slide back into old patterns, this episode is for you. We’ll talk about why self-sabotage after 50 often isn’t a willpower problem at all. Sometimes it’s fear of failure. Or fear of success. Together, we’ll move through the emotions that come with this kind of honesty: frustration, shame, relief, and ultimately hope. I’ll walk you through the tools I’m using right now to interrupt the cycle and close with a light language transmission to help release whatever might be keeping you stuck. Wherever you are in your own cycle of starting and stopping, I hope this conversation reminds you of something important: you’ve done this before…
