Do you ever feel like you're holding yourself back from success? 

In this powerful coaching session, I dive deep with Martie to explore the real reasons behind her struggle with self-sabotage. Together, we uncover whether her actions are truly sabotaging her or if they’re a form of self-protection. By examining her subconscious fears and desires, Martie begins to shift her perspective on what’s really happening when she can’t seem to balance her career, family, and personal goals. This conversation is perfect for anyone who feels like they’re fighting an uphill battle with their own mind.

• You feel like you’re constantly juggling roles and expectations but still aren’t satisfied.
• You struggle with balancing your career, family, and personal well-being.

• You feel guilty for wanting to slow down, even when your body and mind are craving it.
• You want to explore if what you call self-sabotage might actually be a form of self-protection.
