“I’m not afraid to die. I’m afraid not to live.” What if everything you've been told about your limits… was a lie?

But more than his feats, it’s what those experiences unlocked in...

info_outline“You don’t sabotage because you’re afraid to fail. You sabotage because you’re afraid of how powerful you truly are.”
Have you ever noticed how things finally start going well — you're in a loving relationship, making more money, feeling happier — and out of nowhere… you pull back? You overthink. You pick a fight. You overspend. You sabotage.
But here's the truth:
Self-sabotage is not failure — it’s protection.
It’s not that you’re broken. It’s that a part of you is trying to keep you safe, even if that means holding you back from everything you’ve prayed for.
In this soul-stirring episode, we’re going deep into the real reasons why we sabotage the good in our lives — the subconscious fears, the childhood survival strategies, the nervous system that equates success with danger.
It’s time to stop blaming yourself.
It’s time to hold yourself with compassion.
And most of all — to finally allow yourself to receive what you’ve always deserved.
Tune in and learn how to stop sabotaging what you truly deserve.
