Description

In this season of almosts…I was journaling one night and recounting my success in sticking to some of my goals and celebrating this discipline, only to have the streak broken the next day by an emotional hiccup.

This was not a one time incident; it appeared that whenever I told someone (or my journal) about my accomplishment of a specific goal, I would go backwards shortly after. It got me thinking; is something wrong with me? Why does this recognition of success appear to cause a spiral into failure? Is this self sabotage? And why would I do that?

It turns out there is a psychological reason behind this self sabotage and fear of completing goals.


If you’ve ever experienced dragging your feet coming into the finish line, or feeling uncomfortable with success, this episode is for you. Join Rae as she discovers reasons why we sabotage our goals and ways to overcome this fear…
