Ep. 55 | When Fear Quietly Sabotages the Life You're Building

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm talking about how fear sabotages us - not with drama or rebellion, but quietly, by disguising itself as forgetfulness or procrastination. I share the story of a client who stopped picking up her GLP medication right when it started working, and what happened when we named the sabotage for what it really was: fear of change. We'll explore how recognition helps us see what's actually happening underneath our behavior - and how that awareness is what makes different choices possible. Question to carry into your day: Where might fear be quietly sabotaging something that could actually help you right now? Want to chat about working together? Me too!
