Send us a text

If fatigue, brain fog, or feeling like you just aren't a consistent person keep you from following through on healthy habits, self-sabotage just might be at work.

When you hear the phrase self-sabotage, it’s easy to think “Not me.” But my guest today, clarity coach Sam Hawley, is here to help us see it differently — and maybe even spot where it’s quietly draining your energy and affecting your autoimmune health. From overthinking to people-pleasing, hyper-achieving to procrastinating, Sam shares how self-sabotage patterns often start in childhood as a way to protect you…and how you can shift them into habits that actually support your health. You’ll learn tools like “permission slips” and a 12-second grounding practice that can help you make better choices, preserve your energy, and feel more in control of your day.

Key Takeaways:

• What self-sabotage really is (and why it’s not an attack on your character)
• Ten common sabotage patterns and how to spot the top ones affecting your energy and health
• Why “permission slips” can instantly lower stress and open up possibility
• How to use a 12-second, 5-senses grounding practice to interrupt self-sabotage in the moment
• The surprising connection between self-sabotage, self-trust, and your ability to follow through on healthy habits
• Why breaking a sabotage pattern in one area of life makes it easier to shift others

DO of the DAY:
Notice a moment when you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or “should-ing” yourself. Pause for three deep breaths and try a simple, grounding, and mindful practice to bring yourself back into the present moment before you act. This quick reset can save your energy and help you choose the next best step for your health.
