Episode Summary:
Have you ever set a goal for yourself—whether in money, health, or personal growth—only to self-sabotage before reaching the finish line?
In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Dent Brown, a life and health coach, to unpack why self-sabotage happens and, more importantly, how to stop it.
We dive into:

✔ How self-sabotage shows up in both money and health (and why they’re so connected)
✔ The power of awareness and how to spot self-sabotage before it derails your progress
✔ Why "all or nothing" thinking keeps you stuck—and how to commit even when things aren’t perfect

Key Takeaways:
✔ What is Self-Sabotage? – The hidden reasons behind why we quit on ourselves
