If issues in your relationships keep pulling you away from the choices you know are better for you, this episode is for you.
You know what it costs.
You know you will regret it.
And somehow, you still do it again.
In this episode, Dr. Darcy Sterling is joined by Dr. Rachel Goldman for a conversation about self-sabotage, behavior change, self-trust, people-pleasing, boundaries, avoidance, and why insight alone is rarely enough to interrupt a pattern.
You may hear yourself in this episode if:
• You keep breaking promises you made to yourself• You know the behavior is not working, but still cannot stop in the moment
• Being nice, flexible, or “easy” keeps costing you more than you admit
• The hardest part is not just the behavior — it is what it does to your self-trust after
Because the part of you that keeps winning
may be solving something
you still do not know how to solve differently.
Listen to Why You Keep Self-Sabotaging — Even When You Know Better and follow We Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy Sterling for more conversations on relationships, behavior change, and emotional patterns.
