The Jen Marples Show episode 196 is here!

Are you holding yourself back from achieving your dreams? In this impactful and actionable episode, I dive deep into the five sneaky ways we often sabotage our own success, sharing personal stories and real-world examples from my own journey. From the lies we tell ourselves to the paralyzing fear of both failure and success, I'll help you identify these self-sabotaging behaviors that might be keeping you stuck. 

If you've ever felt like everyone else has it figured out while you're still struggling to take action, or if you find yourself waiting for the "perfect time" that never seems to come, this episode will give you the wake-up call – and more importantly, the practical solutions – you need to finally get out of your own way and start making progress toward your goals.

5+ Ways You’re Holding Yourself Back:

  1. Lies.  We are really good at telling ourselves all the reasons we can’t do things. 
  2. Comparisonitis. We think everybody else has this figured out. 
  3. Fear. Every day, we fear failure (and even success sometimes!).
  4. ​​Procrastination and overwhelm. We can’t wait for that perfect moment. Get focused and take action. 
  5. Going it alone. We all need other people to help us on this journey.
  6. *Bonus* Thinking you're too old or it’s too late. YNTFO! 


You’re Not Too F***ing Old! To Do the Damn Thing!
