If you’ve ever caught yourself asking, 'Why isn’t this working?' or 'Why does business feel so heavy right now?', this episode is for you.

I unpack 7 common patterns of self-sabotage that often fly under the radar for creatives and service providers. Instead of piling on more strategy, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what’s actually moving your business forward.

Topics:

• Why more courses and educational content consumption often lead to less clarity
• The danger of switching strategies too quickly
• How surface-level marketing blocks deeper client connection
• The hidden cost of skipping one-on-one interactions
• What academic writing looks like in your business (and why it falls flat)
• The power of tracking your own efforts instead of chasing formulas
• How comfort habits can mask as “being productive”
