23 | Self-Sabotage in Life and Business: Why Success Doesn’t Feel Safe with Rachel Feldman

This week, I’m bringing you something a little different. Instead of me hosting, I’m on the other side of the mic with wellness business coach and Healthy Hustle Podcast host, Rachel Feldman.Rachel and I have known each other for nearly a decade, so this conversation feels less like an interview and more like pulling back the curtain on the real patterns that keep showing up for entrepreneurs in their lives and businesses.We talk about self-sabotage, not just the obvious forms like procrastination or perfectionism, but the deeper wounds that make visibility feel unsafe, or charging for your services feel like betrayal. I share parts of my own story, the beliefs I’ve had to rewire around being seen, and how nervous system safety always has to come before strategy if you want your business to be sustainable.You’ll hear how childhood stories quietly shape the way we show up in business, why success can feel terrifying even when we want it, and how to start building the capacity to let yourself be fully seen.If you’ve ever felt like you’re the one standing in your own way, this conversation will help you see there's nothing wrong with you; you’re just running old programming that can be rewritten.Resources & Links:Listen to more from Rachel: Healthy Hustle PodcastConnect with Rachel: https://rachelafeldman.com/Want to work together 1:1?
