Hi Friends, welcome to another transformative episode of the Human Thrive Podcast. I'm Amanda, your coaching consultant and founder of Neurodivergent Thrive Coaching, guiding you on a journey to clarity, growth, and emotional freedom. In this special space, everyone is welcome, whether neurotypical, neurodivergent, or unsure of where you fit in.
In today's episode, we delve deep into the world of self-sabotage, a phenomenon that often holds us back from achieving our true potential. Drawing from personal experiences and the stories of those I've coached, we'll explore why we unwittingly stand in our own way. For many of us, fears of success and failure become invisible walls we can't see but feel at every turn.
Join me as I recount my own battle with self-sabotage, from impulsively signing up for a master's degree while juggling a podcast and coaching business, to reaching a pivotal realization: my actions were driven by fear and distraction. I had to remind myself of my goals and the path I wanted to pursue, resisting the tug of needless distractions.
We'll touch on the thoughts of psychologist Gay Hendricks, who introduces the concept of the 'upper limit,' a subconscious barrier to success. This upper limit, a stealthy foe, can make the path to success seem daunting and out of reach, urging us to retreat into comfort zones.
For those with ADHD, the challenge can be even greater. When the brain craves stimulation, consistency can feel like an insurmountable mountain. Yet, through intention and small, deliberate steps, we can overcome these patterns. I'll share actionable steps to break free from the self-sabotage cycle, encouraging you to call out your fear of expansion and start with tiny, manageable steps.
Your journey to breaking free from the constraints of self-doubt begins here. Let's dismantle those barriers and embrace the success you're capable of achieving without fear. Walk away from this episode with a powerful mindset shift: You're not sabotaging because you're broken—you're on the brink of breakthrough. Lead your mind with love, and watch the possibilities unfold.
Thank you for joining me today. Remember to be kind to yourself, and let's continue this journey together. Share this episode, leave your thoughts in the comments, and visit my website for worksheets and resources to help you on your path. Until next time, keep thriving!
