Self-Sabotage: Why We Do It & How to Stop Holding Ourselves Back

Have you ever said you want something—better health, more time, a new chapter—and then found yourself doing the exact opposite?

In this episode of The Resilience Movement Podcast, Donna dives deep into the real reasons we self-sabotage—and how to stop. From emotional eating and procrastination to listening to others' doubts instead of your own truth, this is a powerful, eye-opening conversation that will help you spot the patterns keeping you stuck.

We’ll unpack:

• Why self-sabotage is often rooted in fear and identity
• How everyday language like “I’ll try” quietly holds us back
• The beliefs that shape our actions and internal dialogue
• Real-life examples around food, productivity, and self-worth
• Simple steps to shift from sabotage into self-trust

Plus, Donna shares thought-provoking questions to help you reflect, realign, and move forward with kindness and clarity.

If you’ve ever felt like your biggest obstacle is you—this episode is for you. 💛
