Description

🗓️ FREE TRAINING: Discover which one of 6 traits drives you to overthink & people-please at work -- and how to finally break free. RSVP for 60 Minutes to Defeat Self-Sabotage, happening August 14th 12pm ET (replay available): https://melodywilding.com/60minutes

In this episode, Melody breaks down the sneaky, subtle ways self-sabotage shows up at work. Not the obvious stuff you see in every career listicle, but things you’re praised for yet quietly hold you back from the success, recognition, and peace of mind you actually want.

What You’ll Discover:

▪️Why your "responsible" decision-making might actually be based on completely made-up math

▪️ How you're unconsciously treating yourself worse than you'd treat your most unreliable colleague

▪️ One emotional habit that feels like self-awareness but actually prevents you from solving problems

▪️ The seemingly professional behavior that's actually laziness in disguise
