Self-Sabotage: a struggle many face but often cannot figure out why they’re doing it or what to do about it. In today’s episode, we talk all about it. This one is a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from the cycle of self-sabotage, and anyone seeking practical advice on navigating through the complex emotions and behaviors that accompany them.

“The nutrition and exercise stuff, when you boil it down, is really simple. People don't like to hear that, but it is actually kinda easy. It's the emotions. It's the things that happen in everyday life that make our emotions go nuts, and then we don't deal with them. We try to numb them. We try to make them go away. And then it becomes a shit show.”

“If you don't know why you're doing it, you don't know how it can get better from there. A lot of people feel like they’re not able to control their decisions, when in reality, you can. Once you know better and you choose not to do better, that's where it gets to be a slippery slope.”
