Beat Self-Sabotage: Quiet the Mean Girl and Toxic Bro in Your Head | S2E004
I used to stall right at the edge of big goals. I’d get close, then a nasty voice in my head would talk me out of the next step. If you’ve ever pulled back from a call, a launch, or a brave move because of fear, this one’s for you. I break down how your thoughts and feelings drive action, why big dreams trigger self‑sabotage, and how to stop letting that inner Mean Girl or Toxic Bro run the show.
You’ll learn a simple way to turn panic into progress. First, spot your “freak outs.” Write them down. Then ask the only question that matters: What can I do? When you shift into a helpful, doable next step, anxiety loses power and action gets easy. I share real examples, like reframing “sales calls” into helpful check‑ins, and a reminder that you can’t control other people’s reactions. You can control your plan, your questions, and your follow‑through.
Discover:
- A fast mental model: thoughts + feelings = actions, and how to use it to move even when you’re scared.
- Why big goals trigger “upper limit” freak outs and simple ways to ride them out.
- How to map “automatic thoughts,” spot patterns, and cut anxiety by refocusing on control.
- A practical phone‑call reframe that turns “salesy” into “helpful conversation.”
- The action rule that changes everything: anxiety and action can’t coexist. Pick action.
About Rebecca:
In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a rule-based religious group, divorced, and lost the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong. Despite building a wildly successful digital marketing business and growing my family to four kids, I felt nothing but dread each morning.
Then came what I now call Epiphany Town. It was that electric moment when I stopped defining my life by what happened to me and began building on purpose. That phase lit me up in a way I had never felt. Now I devote every ounce of my energy to guiding others through their own version of Epiphany Town. I help them forgive their past, let go of self-sabotaging stories, and leap into a life that is meaningful and deeply fulfilling.
I believe each of us has a story to tell, a gift to offer, and a life worth waking up for. Whether your goal is to impact one person or a million, I am here to help you see your place, claim your voice, and live your life on your terms.
