Welcome back to The Girls Classroom. This week we talk about the quiet destroyer - self sabotage. What undermines our growth, joy, and potential from the inside out, often without us even realising it.

• Self-sabotage can be conscious (procrastination, avoidance) or subconscious (self-doubt, perfectionism, fear of success)
• It often stems from limiting beliefs formed in childhood: “I’m not good enough,” “If I fail, I’ll be rejected,” or “I don’t deserve this”
• We self-sabotage by delaying goals, rejecting healthy love, downplaying our achievements, or staying in comfort zones that feel safe but stifle us
• It’s not laziness—it’s protection. The brain tries to keep us safe by avoiding risk, rejection, or emotional exposure
• The difference: sabotage says “it’s safer to stay small” while self-worth says “even if I fall, I’ll grow from it”
• Rewriting the pattern starts with awareness—naming the fear underneath, being kinder to yourself, and taking action in small, brave doses
• The limits we feel often aren’t walls—they’re stories. And we get to rewrite them
