This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success Podcast.

A hard truth, but a liberating truth about personal growth work is this. Most of the barriers

that are standing between you and what you want are not externally imposed, even if they feel that way. Most of the

time, they are coming from inside of us. And so to create positive change in our lives, we have to

learn how to get out of our own way. That's how we can feel happier, have better relationships,

and reach our full potential. And that is what we're going to be talking about on today's show.

Our musical inspiration today is the song, Intro by the band The XX. You can learn more about them on their bandcamp page,

the xx.com. And I am also so thrilled to introduce you to my guest today. Today, we're going

to be talking to Dr. Sophie Mort about how to get out of your own way. You may be familiar with Dr. Sophie's work from Instagram,

but she is the real deal. She is a clinical psychologist with a master's degree in neuroscience,

and she's on a mission, y'all, to bring the tools of psychology out of the therapy room

and make them accessible to you.

So she and I are on a shared mission in that way.

It's like, how do we make these ideas useful for people?

And Dr. Sophie is doing a great job.

Since 2018, she's helped thousands learn more about themselves and increase their well-being by making it concrete.

She has a number of books out, including her latest one, unstuck, five steps to break bad habits

and get out of your own way.

And today she's doing a deep dive with us to talk about how to apply her ideas to this situation that we all struggle

with, which how do I stop being my own biggest limitation? So I'm so glad she's here.

Dr. Sophie, thank you so much for doing this with me today and sharing your wisdom with our listeners.

Mort or more. I kind of want to say this with a French accent, your wisdom with our listeners. Mort or more.
