Do you ever feel like you’re your own worst enemy? Brad explains why “self-sabotage” isn’t real, and what’s actually happening when you procrastinate, chase perfection, or get stuck in distraction.
Episode Description:
Most people blame their lack of progress on “self-sabotage.” But the truth is, your brain is never working against you… it’s protecting you. The nervous system will always choose safety over success if it perceives success as a threat.
In this episode, Brad unpacks the myths of self-sabotage and shows why procrastination, perfectionism, and distraction are really safety strategies. He also shares how to update your subconscious “software” so safety and success no longer feel like opposites. This is the episode that will help you stop blaming yourself and start rewiring what’s really going on beneath the surface.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why “self-sabotage” is actually impossible.
- How procrastination is a nervous system safety mechanism.
- The hidden fear behind perfectionism… and why it guarantees pain.
- How values mismatches trigger midlife “crises.”
- Why distraction feels addictive and how your brain rewards it.
- The simple metaphor that explains why you’re not broken… you just need a software update.
Key Quotes:
“You’re not sabotaging yourself—you’re protecting yourself.”
“Perfectionism is fear in disguise. It’s the lowest standard you can set because it guarantees pain.”
“To the degree in which you can handle uncertainty is the degree in which you will be successful in life.”
