    Perfectionism, Procrastination & People-Pleasing: The Hidden Ways You Self-Sabotage

    **In this episode of Empowered Within Her…** Self-Sabotage 101 Series Part 2 Self-sabotage isn’t always obvious. I explore the sneaky ways it shows up (procrastination, perfectionism, people-pleasing, negative self-talk) and how these are really your mind’s way of keeping you ‘safe’ — but stuck. I share how understanding how your mind works can help you shift these patterns without needing expensive programs or endless healing loops. **Takeaways:** - Self-sabotage is a protection mechanism. - Procrastination can feel productive — but it’s keeping you small. - Perfectionism is fear of criticism in disguise. - People-pleasing leads to burnout and resentment. - Your mind believes what you tell it — so let’s tell it something new. **Chapters:** 00:00 - Understanding Self-Sabotage as a Protection Mechanism 04:53 - Identifying Subtle Forms of Self-Sabotage 09:44 - The Impact of Negative Self-Talk 15:02 - Empowerment Through Self-Discovery **Quote of the episode:** _"Perfectionism is avoiding criticism."_ 💡 Want to be the first to hear when my **Self-Trust Reset course** is ready?
