Episode 16: Stop Disqualifying Yourself - How to Stop Self-Sabotaging and Losing Opportunities

from Audacity & Access

Before anyone else has the chance to reject you, you have already rejected yourself. You saw the opportunity and decided you were not ready. You wanted to apply but told yourself you were not qualified. You almost reached out but convinced yourself they would never reply.This is self-disqualification, and it is the quietest, most socially acceptable form of self-sabotage there is. Because it does not look like sabotage. It looks like being realistic. It looks like being humble. But it is the thing standing between you and almost everything you want.In this episode of Audacity and Access I am breaking down why we disqualify ourselves before we even try, how it is connected to deeper self-sabotage, and exactly how to stop doing it. Because the truth is, you are saying no to yourself far more often than the world ever will.In this episode we explore:- why you disqualify yourself before anyone else gets the chance to- how self-disqualification is actually a form of self-sabotage in disguise- the specific ways you talk yourself out of things without realising it- the real fears underneath disqualifying yourself- why the people who win are not more qualified, they just disqualify themselves less- how to catch yourself in the act and choose differently- how to become someone who lets herself tryNew episodes every Friday.Follow me on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yourtrustfunddaughter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yourtrustfunddaughter⁠⁠⁠
