Alright folks, buckle up because today Erin and Cinnamon are calling out that sneaky, progress-blocking beast: self-sabotage. We all do it. We all have that little voice that says, "Why even try?" or "You're just gonna fail anyway." Well, guess what? That voice is full of crap.

In this episode, we break down why we sabotage ourselves, how fear plays the biggest role in keeping us stuck, and most importantly, how one tiny word— yet— can shut that nonsense down. That’s right. The difference between "I can’t do this" and "I can’t do this… yet" is a game-changer.

If you’ve ever found yourself procrastinating, stuck in perfectionism, or talking yourself out of success, this episode is for you. Get ready to reframe your mindset, challenge that inner critic, and learn how to keep moving forward, even when self-doubt comes knocking.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why self-sabotage happens and how to spot it
  • The role of fear in keeping us stuck
  • How one simple word can rewire your brain for success
  • The importance of celebrating small wins
  • Practical steps to break free from self-sabotaging patterns

Challenge of the Week:
The next time you catch yourself in a self-doubt spiral, tack on "yet" to the end of the sentence. "I’m not good at this… yet." "I haven’t figured this out… yet." Pay attention to how that one little word shifts your mindset, and let us know how it goes! Tag us on social media or drop us a message—we love hearing from you!
