About this episode

Brianna Gomez discusses the reasons behind self-sabotage during periods of personal growth and offers insights on overcoming these challenges.

Sometimes the most frustrating part of personal growth is realizing that the very thing standing between you and the life you want… is YOU. Everything starts going well. You feel happier, more confident, and closer to your goals. But then you procrastinate, overthink, pull away, or stop showing up altogether. And before you know it, you’ve pushed away the things you worked so hard for. In today’s episode of Hot and Unbothered, your host Brianna Gomez breaks down why so many of us self-sabotage when life starts getting better. From fear of success and low self-worth to nervous system patterns and building self trust, this episode will help you understand what’s REALLY happening and how to finally stop getting in your own way. If you feel like you keep ruining good things, this conversation will help you sustain your progress, receive the life you’ve been working toward, and step fully into your highest self. 💋 The tool you NEED to stick to your goals this year: the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOMING HER PLANNER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for the girlies who are serious about leveling up (made by your's truly!)
