Summary

In this episode, we talk about the concept of self-sabotage through the lens of the word 'but.' We’ll explore how these mental barriers prevent you from pursuing your dreams, and I’ll give you strategies to overcome them. It’s time to shut the buts up (with compassion for ourselves) and transform excuses into actionable steps toward success. Let’s recognize our 'buts,' challenge them, and turn them into bridges that lead to our personal and professional growth, goals and dreams.
