Honey, you don't.... there's no such thing as self sabotage.  It's a constructed label. I'll unpack it for you, but first let's start at the beginning. 

“Why do I keep sabotaging myself?”

It’s one of the most common questions I hear.

And I completely understand why.

On the surface, it does look like sabotage.

You say you’ll go to the gym… and you don’t.
You plan to eat well… and you reach for chocolate.
You want the relationship to work… and you pull away.
You commit to the business idea… and then procrastinate.

From the outside, it looks like you’re getting in your own way.

But as the charming rebellious sagittarius that I am, I'd like to challenge this idea.

The Hidden Assumption Behind “Self-Sabotage”

The idea of self-sabotage rests on one very important assumption:

That there is a correct way to behave…
And that you are deviating from it.

But who decided what “correct” is?

Let’s take something simple.

You don’t go to the gym one morning.

Is that sabotage?

Or is it your b...

I want you to be happy.  Really happy.  I want you to be able to harbour so much love, joy, freedom and happiness.

But can you?

Do you really want it?

You might be thinking, what a stupid question!  Of course I want happiness.  Doesn't everyone?

And the answer to that might surprise you. 

In today's episode of the menopause mindset podcast we discuss something called Cherophobia or fear of happiness.

We look at how it shows up, why it's in your life, what you can do about it and the consequences of not dealing with it for you and your menopause transition. 

So if you're ready to improve your mental and emotional wellbeing, then this episode is your you.
