What does self-sabotage in relationships look like?

Self-sabotage looks like making decisions from a place of fear instead of taking the time to connect to your own inner guidance and then deciding from there.

We all have these stories and false narratives that run underneath our consciousness, and we operate from (sometimes harmful) patterns based on that narrative. If we are not actively and consciously looking for these, we often live in our patterns, which can look like a loop.

Having the mindset that you need to get somewhere, be in a certain relationship, or achieve a goal before you can do what you truly feel passionate about or feel like you "deserve" happiness definitely holds people back. Believing that you are at the mercy of the world, of others, of life also holds people back.

How do you deal with love failure?

Learn how to create your own safety in your body by connecting with your feelings and needs. There is something powerful in naming how you feel and what you need, rather than stuffing your feelings away and taking care of everyone but yourself. Let yourself feel everything and name those feelings, then take care of yourself and give yourself whatever you need.

How do you stop being self-conscious in a relationship?

It's easy to spend so much time concerned about being the right partner for somebody that you don't spend time becoming the right partner. Focus on becoming the person you want to be and loving yourself fiercely. When you show up in a relationship as an empowered partner to yourself, then you can focus on how you're being rather than what they're thinking.

How do you get pride in your appearance?

Fall in love with your appearance in the mirror. Your cellulite, your stretch marks from your babies, all of it. When you love yourself and everything about your body, it's hard for other people not to feel the same way too.
