 On this episode of “Everything’s Messy Podcast” I ask the question: Ever feel like you're your own worst enemy when it comes to reaching your goals? You're not alone. Self-sabotage has a sneaky way of creeping in, whispering doubts, and throwing roadblocks in our path. But here's the thing—it's not about a lack of willpower. Most of the time, it's about a lack of clarity and a strategy that actually works.

In this episode, I dive into the root of self-sabotage and why understanding your why is the game-changer you need. It’s easy to set goals like “I want to lose weight” or “I need to save money,” but if you don’t dig deeper into the real reason behind them, staying consistent feels impossible. I’ll walk you through powerful reflection questions to help uncover the emotional drivers behind your goals and show you how to turn that insight into an actionable plan.

We’ll also talk about the importance of setting realistic and specific goals (because vague goals lead to vague results), creating reward systems to stay motivated, and learning from people who’ve already mastered what you’re working toward. 

Most importantly, we’re talking about the power of small, consistent steps. Success doesn’t come from one massive leap—it’s the result of tiny, daily improvements that add up over time. And when life throws you off track (because let’s be real, it will), I’ll share why self-compassion is key to bouncing back stronger.

So, if you’re ready to stop getting in your own way and start building unbreakable habits, hit play and let’s dive in. Because growth is messy—but that’s where the magic happens.
