In this episode, let's delve into the book "The Mountain is You: Transforming Self-sabotage Into Self-mastery" by Brianna Wiest, which explores why we self-sabotage and how greater self-awareness can help us create meaningful changes!

  3. 3

    Change means becoming someone your old fears no longer fit.
