Self-Sabotage in Chronic Illness: Why We Hurt Ourselves When We’re Trying to Heal

In this episode, I open up about something many of us quietly struggle with—self-sabotage while living with a chronic illness. I talk about the real reasons we skip meds, ignore warning signs, or push ourselves too hard, even when we know better. This isn’t about blame—it’s about understanding what’s underneath the behavior and learning how to respond with compassion instead of guilt.
