Why do we hold ourselves back from the things we say we want? Why do we procrastinate, overthink, or push away opportunities only to regret it later? If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in self-sabotaging cycles, this episode is for you.

Self-sabotage isn’t about being lazy or lacking discipline, it’s about deep-rooted fears, limiting beliefs, and protective mechanisms that no longer serve us. In this episode, we’ll explore:

🔹 Why self-sabotage happens and how it’s wired into our brains
🔹 The real reasons behind procrastination, perfectionism, and avoidance
🔹 How childhood conditioning and past experiences shape our patterns
🔹 The role of imposter syndrome and why it's often misunderstood
🔹 Practical, science-backed strategies to stop self-sabotaging and move forward

If you’ve ever struggled with fear of failure, fear of success, or not feeling “good enough,” you’re not alone. But you can break the cycle.
