EP:15. Why We Self-Sabotage When Things are Going Well

Have you ever found yourself doing really well with your health habits, only to slowly slip back into old patterns? Maybe life got busy. Maybe stress took over. Maybe one small detour turned into weeks or months of feeling off track. In this episode, Rachelle explores the often-overlooked topic of self-sabotage and why so many of us struggle to maintain positive changes, even when we genuinely want better health. You'll learn:• Why our brains are wired to prefer familiarity over change• How the all-or-nothing mindset keeps us stuck• The surprising role that fear of success can play• Why stress often causes us to return to old coping strategies• The connection between identity, self-belief, and lasting change• Practical tools to help you recognise self-sabotaging patterns and recover more quickly Drawing on her own experiences, from bodybuilding and powerlifting to stepping into a completely new career as a Flight Attendant.  Rachelle shares honest reflections on confidence, growth, and learning to trust yourself through life's transitions. This episode is a reminder that lasting health isn't built through perfection. It's built through awareness, resilience, self-compassion, and the willingness to keep showing up for yourself, even when things don't go to plan.
