Why We Self Sabotage

In this solo episode, Alex Cooper breaks down the psychology of self-sabotage—why we undermine ourselves in relationships, careers, and personal growth. She explains that stability can feel threatening when we're used to chaos, that fear of failure often keeps us from even trying, and that constantly breaking promises to ourselves destroys internal trust. She then tackles listener questions about digital boundaries, rude coworkers, and other everyday boundaries. The episode reframes self-sabotage not as weakness but as protective patterns that can be unlearned.
