ep. 11 Why You Keep Sabotaging Your Progress (And How to Stop)

You set goals. You make plans. You get motivated.
And then… you crash. Again.
Why?

In this episode, we explore the hidden forces behind self-sabotage—why we stand in our own way, even when we desperately want to grow. Drawing on ancient Stoic philosophy and modern psychology, we dig into the root causes of self-sabotage like fear, perfectionism, procrastination, and emotional overreaction.

You’ll learn:

• What Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus can teach us about overcoming self-doubt

• How modern science explains the brain’s tendency to resist change

• Real-life stories of sabotage (and success) from well-known figures and anonymous examples

• Practical, battle-tested strategies to stop self-sabotage in its tracks

Whether you’re stuck in a cycle of “almost” or just sick of watching your momentum disappear, this episode gives you the tools to break through and reclaim your forward motion—once and for all.
