Self Sabotaged by Your Inner Child

We believe we are in control of our own destiny. What if I told you you aren’t in control as much as you believe you are?

I’m sure you’d challenge this statement and create a lot of proof to the contrary. You see, so many of the choices we make, the thoughts we have, the steps we take, the moves we make are actually nothing more than repeated automated patterns from our past.

This thought can be frightening. Our inner child can do a number on us and sabotage our success.
In this episode, we’re discussing our inner children and how to keep them from running amuck.
