Are You Unknowingly Sabotaging All The Things You Want? How To Know If You Are And What To Do To Fix It
Mon Nov 24 2025
In this week’s solo episode of Conversations for Growth, I explore a hard but important question:
Are you unconsciously blocking the very opportunities you say you want?
So many of us talk about wanting change, whether that's a new job, a relationship, more visibility, a move, a new version of ourselves but when opportunities start to show up, we quietly pull back.We delay. We overthink. We “wait for the right time.”
In this episode, I dive into:
How your mindset and old stories can sabotage opportunities without you realising
The fear behind success: not just “What if it doesn’t work?” but “What if it does?”
A personal story of how I noticed myself blocking opportunities I said I wanted
Why your nervous system resists change, even when it’s the change you’ve been calling in
Gentle questions to help you spot where you might be getting in your own way
Simple ways to start saying a real, grounded yes to what you say you want
This is not an episode about hustling harder or “fixing” yourself.It’s an invitation to get honest, soften the self-sabotage, and take one small brave step toward the life you keep imagining for yourself.
Take this with you:
“Where am I saying I want something while quietly blocking it at the same time?”
If this episode resonates, share it with someone who might be holding themselves back too, and don’t forget to follow, rate, and review Conversations for Growth so more people can find these conversations.
