Ep #9 - **Please note that this episode includes spoilers!**

Season 4 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (available on Amazon Video) is an excellent case study in self-sabotage. But did Midge Maisel's career destruction begin in Season 4 or did it start back in Season 3? Is she motivated by fear of failure or fear of success? The answers aren't so simple, but it's a great jumping off point to discuss how else self-sabotage plays out in our own lives.

After this episode you'll be able to identify several different ways self-sabotage can occur for you, recognize how your own internal dialogue can make you susceptible to it, and how small changes in this communication system can help you overcome it.

Ep #6 - We all have stories about who we are that we hang onto long past their expiration date. Sometimes those stories started off true, but they might not be anymore. That's when they get in our way and can hamper our creative flow. What old stories are you clinging to about yourself?

Are you actually storytelling or short changing yourself?

I'll give you a few examples from my own storyline, and we'll dive into how you can change your own, so you can stop telling lies about yourself.

Ep #5 - Journaling sounds boring, but can also bring up feelings of vulnerability. Because what if someone finds it and learns all your private thoughts? In this episode, I challenge you to reconsider the purpose of journaling and show you different ways of approaching it. This is the 21st century after all, you’re no longer limited to only pen and paper.

Instead I’ll introduce you to a few different methods for getting the trash thoughts out of your head, and show you how this practice is similar to another elimination method you’re (hopefully) already pretty good at.

Ep #1 - Put an end to the fear of your own creativity! You—yes YOU—are an inherently creative creature. But because the human brain is wired for negative bias, that's pretty easy to forget.

So how do you kill your fear of creativity and start living your best life?

After listening to this episode, you'll be better able to understand how to control your emotions and reactions, learn how to keep your inner critic from reacting from fear, and recognize whether the ideas you have about your own creativity (or lack thereof) are actually true.
