306. Understanding and Identifying Self-Sabotage


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of the Running Lean Podcast, I’m diving deep into a topic that affects every single one of us—Understanding and Identifying Self-Sabotage.

If you’ve ever made progress toward your running or weight loss goals, only to find yourself slipping back into old habits, this episode is going to hit home.

You’ll learn what self-sabotage actually is (and what it isn’t), how to recognize when you’re doing it, and the surprising reasons why we all do it.

Most importantly, I’ll show you how to start breaking the cycle so you can finally build real, lasting consistency.

This is not about guilt or shame—it’s about awareness and growth.

Once you see how you’ve been getting in your own way, you’ll have the power to stop doing it and start creating the results you’ve been working for.
