Self sabotage isn't a character flaw. It's what happens when your inner world hasn't caught up with your outer ambitions.

Chrissy May, spiritual facilitator, speaker, and author , has spent 25 years doing the inner work — and she's here to tell you it's less about finding yourself and more about becoming willing to face yourself.

We explore:

• Why people-pleasing is actually a form of control (and what it's really protecting you from)
• What self sabotage looks like when success starts arriving , and why the answer is always within

• Why the 75 Hard challenge changed her life, and it had nothing to do with the workouts
• The difference between checking off a spiritual practice and actually embodying it
• Why not every soul is called to the personal development path — and what it means for how we invite others in

If you've ever stood on the edge of the next version of yourself and found a reason to step back , this one's for you.

Personal development and doing the mindset work is something I have intentionally been adding into my days. And Growthday has been a big part of it, with DAILY audios from Brendan Burchard, a place to journal, score myself on how I showed up in the week and suggestions on how I can improve for the next. If you're looking to bring more of that into your (growth) day, take a look here: ⁠https://www.growthday.com/?via=priyap⁠
