How to STOP SELF-SABOTAGE with Diane Sorenson

from The Elise Tzurkov Podcast · host etzurkov

After 30 years in education, Diane Sorenson shifted into being a certified transformational life coach, hypnotherapy practitioner with a powerful focus on boundaries—because real change starts with knowing where you stand. In this episode, we dive deep into self-sabotage and why the brain resists growth:when we step outside familiar patterns, discomfort shows up. But once we understand that, we can plan for change instead of fearing it. Diane breaks down the drama triangle—how feeling powerless can push us into the roles of victim, persecutor, or rescuer—and reveals how to move into the empowermenttriangle by owning our emotions and reclaiming our choices. We also explore “othering,” the subtle habit of placing our self-worth in someone else’s hands. This conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.So the real question is… are you ready to step out of sabotage and into empowerment?
