About this listen

🔥 Welcome back to Balancing Flames, Amigas! ✨ Today we’re diving into Episode 12: Stop Shrinking — The Psychology of Self-Sabotage and the Return to Self.

This is the episode where we get honest about the ways we hold ourselves back — the patterns, the fears, the defenses, the stories, and the wounds that make us shrink when we’re meant to rise.

In this episode, we’re uncovering:

🌑 Why self-sabotage shows up — the childhood patterns, the survival instincts, and the unhealed parts of you that learned to protect themselves by staying small.

🔥 How shrinking becomes a habit — the overthinking, the second-guessing, the procrastination, the self-doubt, and the fear of being “too much.”

The psychology behind it — how your nervous system, beliefs, and past experiences trick you into thinking safety is the same as silence.

Because self-sabotage isn’t a flaw — it’s a response. And once you understand it, you can finally break it.

Tune in, take a breath, and let this be the moment you stop shrinking and step back into who you truly are.
