Description

That cycle of procrastinating right before a big move? The sudden spiral into self-doubt? The way you ghost your own momentum the second things start going well?

That’s not laziness. That’s self-protection disguised as sabotage.

Here’s the truth nobody talks about: your brain is hardwired to keep you safe—not successful. So when you get close to the dream, your nervous system slams the brakes. Not because you're weak... but because it doesn't feel safe to expand.

In this episode, Brooke unpacks the gritty truth about what’s really happening when you “get in your own way”—and how to build the inner safety to stop repeating the same sabotage loop over and over again.

You’ll learn:
— Why your fear of being seen is driving your perfectionism
— How unhealed parts of you are secretly running your life
— What to do when your system says "hell no" to the thing you say you want

This episode is your permission slip to stop calling yourself lazy—and start tending to the part of you that’s just scared.
