Episode 13: When Self-Help Becomes Self-Sabotage


Listen Later

Ever fallen down the self-help rabbit hole and woke up surrounded by books, podcasts, and a to-do list that screams “optimize your life”? Yeah… same.

In this episode, I’m spilling some honest confessions about my long, complicated relationship with the self-help world from binging every motivational book under the sun to realizing I was basically living in a self-improvement loop.

We’ll talk about:

  • When self-help turns into self-sabotage
  • Why I had to quit the “guru” act and start writing like a real human again
  • The ridiculous things I’ve seen behind the scenes in the training and development world
  • And how I finally found a healthier way to grow without drowning in advice


If you’ve ever highlighted half a book, bookmarked every TED Talk, and still felt stuck… this one’s for you.

Listen now and let’s talk about it: why sometimes, doing less self-help is actually the best self-help.
