Rebranding Self-Sabotage: A Coaching Conversation on Protection, Procrastination & Permission to Be Human with Melissa Parsons


Episode 192


What if self-sabotage isn’t sabotage at all—but self-protection in disguise?

In this powerful and playful conversation between two life coaches (and dear friends), Dr. Melissa Parsons and I unpack the messy middle of procrastination, rest, and the inner parts that slow us down.

We talk about why so many high-achieving women resist rest, how to reframe “boredom” as a sign of emotional safety, and what happens when we stop making ourselves the villain in our own story.

 

✨ Episode at a Glance

  • Why “self-sabotage” might actually be a protective part of you

  • The difference between physiological vs. psychological procrastination

  • How to practice satisfaction in a “what’s next?” society

  • Rewriting your internal script around rest, repair, and thriving

  • The gift of a “boring” marriage—and why that might be exactly what you want

This episode is part life coaching, part loving smackdown, and all about giving yourself radical permission to be human.
