Hello, and welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting

I'm your host, Cory Muscara, and in today's episode, we're going to talk about self-sabotage.

vision for it, most of you is aligned with the idea of like, yeah, I really want to

sabotaging the process.

There's a good chance that the journey toward that thing or the actual attainment of that

thing involves feeling something that you're unwilling to feel or you don't yet feel

comfortable feeling or know how to feel.
