You know you're made for more, but something keeps holding you back. That "something" might just be you. In this illuminating conversation with Denise Walsh—former clinical psychologist, motivational speaker, and multimillion-dollar entrepreneur—we unpack the psychology behind self-sabotage and how to finally break free from these limiting patterns.

At its essence, self-sabotage is saying you want something and then not doing it. This simple yet profound definition helps us recognize when we're standing in our own way. Denise explains how this cycle erodes our self-trust over time, creating a downward spiral where we stop believing in our own commitments before we even try. She dives deep into the roots of self-sabotage—our self-image, subconscious programming from childhood, and stress levels that keep us making short-term comfort choices instead of decisions aligned with our true desires.

What makes this conversation truly transformative is Denise's practical four-part framework for overcoming self-sabotage: habits (repetition is key), home (creating an environment that supports your goals), hypnosis (reprogramming your subconscious), and health (because feeling good physically enables everything else). As a mom who built her business while raising young children, Denise shares candid insights about releasing mom guilt, compartmentalizing work and family time, and the freedom that comes from asking for help.

For the spiritual entrepreneur, Denise offers a refreshing perspective on how faith guides us through the unknown territory between our current reality and desired future. Her mantra "the how shows up as you're moving your feet" reminds us that clarity comes through action, not endless planning. If you're feeling that divine nudge toward something greater, this episode will give you the courage to say yes and keep your spark lit.
