Ever feel like you’re on the edge of everything you’ve been calling in… and suddenly you’re cleaning the kitchen, color-coding your inbox, or ghosting your own magic?
That’s not laziness. That’s not resistance. That’s your nervous system trying to keep you safe.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the veil on self-sabotage—why it shows up right before our expansion, how it masks as “self-care,” and what it really needs: safety, presence, and the soul taking the lead.

You’ll learn:

• Why sabotage is a protection pattern (not proof you're not ready)
• How fear of visibility hides in the body—and how I confronted mine
• The chakra wounds most tied to sabotage (root, solar plexus, throat)
• A powerful somatic practice to reclaim your momentum without bypassing

Takeaways

It's not resistance; it's your nervous system whispering.
Self-sabotage is how we cope when safety and visibility have never coexisted.
Sabotage is not self-hatred; it's self-protection.
The ego's job is survival, leading to self-sabotage.
Safety in your body creates freedom in your voice.
Curiosity is a characteristic of our soul.
You are not your sabotage; you are the witness of it.
Transforming sabotage into sovereignty requires self-love.
Embodying your true self involves taking aligned action.
You were made for this; trust yourself.

This is not about mindset hacks.
This is about nervous system sovereignty.

You’ve been taught to fear your feelings.
To manage them. Suppress them. Fix them.

But what if your emotions are not the problem—what if they’re the portal?

In this raw and soul-deep episode, Dawn Elgin breaks down what it means to reclaim emotional sovereignty—to feel everything without being ruled by any of it.

This isn’t another conversation about "emotional regulation." This is an unapologetic call back to the body, back to the truth, and back to the power you left behind when you started calling your emotions too much.

You’ll learn to stop fusing your identity with temporary states, stop bypassing your own truth, and start wielding your emotional experience like the sacred compass it is.

Because emotional mastery isn’t about always being calm—it’s about being clear.

What happens when your soul says go—but you keep staying?

You say you're ready for the next thing. You journal it, pray it, beg for it. But when the opportunity to walk away shows up, you freeze.

Welcome to the messy middle—where you crave peace, but still choose chaos… long for freedom, but won’t leave the cage… want change, but won’t put down the old identity.

This episode is for the one who knows it's time to leave something—a job, a relationship, a role, a version of yourself—but guilt, fear, and grief are keeping you stuck.

This isn’t about shaming the part of you that stayed.
It’s about trusting the part of you that’s ready to go.

You’ll hear deeply personal stories, powerful truths about ego, the nervous system, and awareness—and a guided somatic “walk away” practice to help you discern what’s truly right for you now.

Because walking away doesn’t mean burning it all down.
It means no longer abandoning yourself.
