Self-Sabotage, Safety & Saying Yes to Life

Send us Fan MailSeason 3 Episode 1 : Self-Sabotage, Safety & Saying Yes to LifeIn the very first episode of Season Three of Why Mindset Matters, I open up about something I’ve realised I’ve done for most of my adult life — pulling back from the very things I say that I want.Recording from beautiful Tasmania, I share the story of almost cancelling this trip and the pattern of self-sabotage, fear, and nervous system protection that showed up in the lead-up. What I’ve come to understand is that sometimes it’s not that something is wrong or out of alignment — it’s that our nervous system mistakes the unfamiliar for unsafe.After years of living in fight-or-flight through childhood trauma, grief, loss, and survival mode, I now have the awareness to recognise when fear is trying to disguise itself as logic. This episode is about what happens when we stop letting old wounds dictate our future and start choosing expansion, joy, connection, and life anyway.I talk about solo travel, healing through therapy and neurofeedback, learning to embody resilience instead of just teaching it, and the importance of questioning the narratives we adopt about safety, love, happiness, and what we believe we deserve.If you’ve ever found yourself sabotaging opportunities, doubting yourself right before something beautiful, or talking yourself out of the very life you desire, this episode is for you.Because sometimes the only thing standing between us and the life we want… is the story we tell ourselves right before we step into it.Support the show
