Let’s Talk About Self-Sabotage (AKA The Sht We Keep Doing Even When We Know Better)

About this episode

This episode explores the concept of self-sabotage and how it affects personal growth and decision-making.

Why do we keep ghosting our own growth? Why do we pull back just as things start to move? Why do we keep repeating the same patterns — in love, in business, in healing — even when we know better? In this episode, we’re going there. We’re talking self-sabotage: the sneaky, protective, often unconscious ways we block our own magic. Whether it’s procrastinating on that thing you know would change your life, avoiding the conversation that needs to happen, or walking away before it gets good — self-sabotage is rarely laziness. It’s usually fear. Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of being seen. Fear of holding the very thing we’ve been asking for. I’m sharing the truth about how this shows up (yep, even for me), how to start noticing the pattern in real-time, and how to choose a new path — with compassion, not shame. This one’s a loving call-out… and a permission slip to stay the course.
