I still catch myself sabotaging my business sometimes. The good news is I’m more aware and faster at catching it. Gone are the days of wasted weeks and months, simultaneously spinning and feeling stuck.
Self-sabotage is latent; it’s only activated with certain conditions. To add to the nuance, it’s also hidden because it’s job is self-protection. It’s quietly trying to keep me safe in super sneaky ways.
This is useful, because if I own it and do nothing, I create more suffering.
It’s a pickle.
I want to grow my business, but I don’t. My Soul does. My mind is afraid. My nervous system is activated in all the ways.
The fact that I can spot this pattern (which tells different tales every time - how fun), and course correct is the result of a lot of awareness and inner work, over a long period of time. And also just getting tired of my own shit. There’s that.
Part of this awareness was realizing my business is not me, it’s a separate entity.
Part of this awareness is realizing how I do one thing is how I do everything.
Part of this awareness was unpacking generational and ancestral stories. Stories I inherited but have a choice about how I carry them.
In this podcast episode I share my lessons around connection, how being transactional, and extractive with my business led to feeling alone and playing small.
It’s a short episode and I don’t go down the rabbit holes of why; it’s more observational after coming out the other side. I don’t presume all my stories are universally relatable; my hope is you hear some pieces that remind you what you already know somewhere deep down. That allow you to expand the way you work with your business in really healthy ways.

Thank you for joining me on the behind the scenes journey of building a business when you’re scared out of your mind - - - but doing it anyways (and making ALL the mistakes). It’s been an epic 6 years. Or 7. But who’s counting 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ I’m lucky (privileged) to be here.
