I rewrote this speech so many times. And I kept layering, layer, layer, layer on top of it simply because I was afraid of my deepest passion and my deepest fear would be that I have nothing to say. And so I kept writing until someone, a very beautiful and exquisite soul said, just stop, stop. What is the one gift you want to give your audience? It is enough and you are enough. And so I took about 24 hours. I stepped back. I started sloughing off all the layers, all the layers until I got to that core message, which was there the whole time. I was just afraid that it wasn't enough, but it's enough. It's way more than enough. And that is that I'm going to teach you how to turn your self-sabotage into your superpower. So what is self-sabotage? Self-sabotage is when you take part in the behaviors that undermine your process, your progress, and your success. And it stems from feeling undervalued, underwhelmed, fears of inadequacy, fears of the future and the unknown. And it shows up in so many different ways.

One, it shows up in procrastination. This is when you have things that you need to do, but you put off, you stress yourself out while you're not putting it off. And then when you finally get to it, you still stress yourself out. And either you have an amazing result or a satisfactory result. No matter what, your confidence goes down. Another one is perfectionism. This is where you set the bar so high. You work towards it. You get maybe right beneath it or maybe even hit it. And boom, instantly, you raise that bar higher. And all that does is to diminish your self-belief, and it reinforces your belief that you're not enough. And a third one that I want to share with you today is self-medicating. With drugs, alcohol, pulling out that credit card for that quick little hit. This stems from wanting to avoid, to... to just really get away, to numb out feelings of not enoughness. So here we do... here we are. We stay in this little bubble of self-sabotage. We're in pain. We have both our foot on the accelerator and the brake. We stay in this pain place because our soul is so... is hurting so much because it knows it is not fulfilling its destiny. So we stay in this pain simply to avoid a potential pain over here of really going for it.
