Unmasking Self-Sabotage: Navigating Chaos and Recovery

Episode #1077

Ever find yourself messing things up just when they're starting to go well? You're not alone. A lot of high-performing men struggle with self sabotage, especially when life starts to feel steady. In this episode, Tim and Bruce dig into the reasons behind it, whether it's a deep-rooted self worth issue, a nervous system that craves chaos, or an old identity that just doesn't fit anymore.

They explore how some men unconsciously create problems just to feel a sense of purpose or control. From procrastination and emotional withdrawal to overcommitting and burnout, the patterns are often the same. The good news is, once you see it, you can change it. You'll hear what actually works to break the cycle and how to stop bouncing between highs and lows in your personal and professional life.

If you've ever told yourself "I know what to do, I just don't do it," this episode is for you. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of where self sabotage really comes from and how to start shifting out of it. We also break down the role of unconscious identity and why traditional willpower won't solve the problem. The goal here isn't perfection. It's progress with intention.
