Do you get scared when things start going well?
Are you constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop?
Are you stuck in a toxic cycle of self sabotage and can’t seem to stop?
With any luck, by the end of this episode you will see self sabotage in a completely different light.
In fact, you may end up seeing it as a ginormous act of self love.
On today’s episode Steph & Craig open up about a topic you most likely can relate to: self-sabotage.
Drawing from their own experiences, they share moments where they found themselves caught in the grips of self-sabotaging behaviors, from freezing up at the start of their podcast journey to derailing relationships and job opportunities.
Together, they unpack the complex motivations behind self-sabotage, tracing it back to a desire for control and a fear of the unfamiliar.
They explore how these behaviors often stem from coping mechanisms developed in childhood, aimed at safeguarding you from perceived threats.
Steph and Craig shed light on the paradoxical nature of self-sabotage as an act of self-love, a misguided attempt to protect oneself from potential harm.
Ultimately, they frame self-sabotage not as a roadblock, but as an opportunity for growth and healing, encouraging you to embrace change and embark on a journey towards greater self-understanding and resilience.
