Welcome to episode forty-one of the Me Skills Podcast, where we lean into self-love and great ideas that build a better life.

In today’s episode Kelly and Tish are chatting about a topic you can probably relate to – self-sabotage. They chat about why the question “Why do I do this?” often pops up after we sabotage ourselves, and Kelly challenges whether asking “why” is actually helpful or just a way to avoid real change.

(Note: this episode, as usual, contains swearing. 😉)
