Why do we push away love even when we deeply crave it? In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Anxiety Recovery Podcast, I’m joined by self sabotage coach Nathan Francis to unpack the hidden ways we sabotage healthy love—and why.

We explore the subtle signs of self-sabotage, how childhood emotional wounds can make safety feel like a threat, and the internal beliefs that keep us stuck in painful patterns. Nathan shares vulnerable moments from his own journey, including the realization that he was the common denominator in his relationships. We also discuss how to heal after sabotage, break the cycle of shame, and finally allow in the love we deserve.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep messing up something good?”—this episode will bring clarity, compassion, and hope.
