S2 Episode 12: “When You Feel Like You’re Always the Problem”

💥 You’ve apologized for things that weren’t your fault.
You’ve blamed yourself to keep the peace.
You’ve carried emotional weight that was never yours to hold.

If that hit your gut — this episode is for you.

In Season 2, Episode 12 of the Get Up Show Up Never Give Up podcast, we’re breaking down one of the most damaging patterns in personal growth:
👉 Chronic self-blame.
👉 The belief that you are always the issue.

This isn’t just mindset work.
