You don’t lack talent.

You don’t lack discipline.

You’re not lazy.

You’re overthinking.

And it might be the one thing quietly slowing your progress.

In this episode of SAUNAIE, we talk about self-sabotage — the subtle ways we delay, hesitate, and talk ourselves out of opportunities even when we know we’re capable.

Because sometimes the biggest obstacle isn’t the world…

It’s our own thoughts.

We break down:
• Why overthinking feels productive but kills action
• The psychology behind procrastination & perfectionism
• Why fear shows up as “planning”
• How self-doubt impacts Black male entrepreneurs differently
• The science behind confidence and action
• Simple systems to stop overthinking and start moving

If you’ve ever said “I’m not ready yet” or “I need more time” — this episode is for you.

Messy action beats perfect hesitation.

Always.
