You're Not Sabotaging Yourself — with Jessica Braider, Midlife Doula

"Self-sabotage" is one of the most damaging terms in the personal development world. It implies you're doing it on purpose. You're not. In this conversation, I'm joined by my friend Jessica Braider - therapist, health coach, menopause coach, and midlife doula - and we go deep on the beliefs that keep female founders stuck. Not as a framework. As our actual lives. We talk about midlife as a transition point (not just menopause - the whole messy stretch from your mid-30s to your 60s), why women launch businesses in midlife, how limiting beliefs stay invisible because we genuinely think they're true, and the internal obstacles that no strategy, course, or mastermind can touch. I also share something I haven't talked about much: being diagnosed with aggressive stage two breast cancer in 2024, having to hire someone to run my agency through treatment with borrowed money, and what that experience broke open in me. And Jessica shares her own story - running her business part-time to prioritize her family, going through a divorce, renovating a bathroom by herself with the flu and 20 trips to Home Depot, and what it actually looks like to rebuild your sense of self from the inside out. This one is personal. And I think you'll hear yourself in it. Find Jessica at jessicabraider.com and subscribe to her newsletter - it is one of the best things in my inbox every week.
