Description

Why do we do the very things that keep us stuck? Whether it's falling off a new routine, pulling away from a great relationship, or creating drama when things are finally going well, self-sabotage can show up in so many ways, and it’s incredibly frustrating.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what self-sabotage really is, why it happens, and how to shift out of it using the Adult Chair model. You’ll learn how to identify the unconscious parts driving the behavior and how to reparent those parts with compassion, so you can finally get out of your own way and start living the life you truly want.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • What self-sabotage really looks like (and how to spot it)

  • Common reasons we sabotage things we care about

  • A simple way to uncover and heal the part behind the pattern
