This one’s personal. In this episode, I open up about a health crisis that forced me to slow down, look inward, and face some hard truths about the ways I was getting in my own way—even when everything looked “productive” on the surface. We’ll talk about how self-sabotage often masks itself as perfectionism, overwork, procrastination, or staying small—and why it’s usually rooted in survival, not weakness.

If you’ve ever delayed launching something, downplayed your prices, stayed busy to avoid discomfort, or held back your real voice because it didn’t feel “safe”... this episode is for you.

I’ll share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning) about breaking these patterns—with curiosity, compassion, and just one small shift at a time.

In this episode, we cover:
• What self-sabotage really looks like for creatives
• How survival patterns sneak into your business
• Personal stories I’ve never shared publicly—until now
• Why done is better than perfect
• Three small actions to break the cycle and move forward

This one’s for the makers, the dreamers, and anyone trying to build something real—without burning out.
 Let’s talk about it. Let’s try a new rhythm.
