Tu n'es pas assez prête. Tu n'as pas assez d'expérience. Les autres sont meilleurs que toi. Ces phrases, tu les as déjà entendues dans ta tête, probablement plus d'une fois.Ce sont tes saboteurs. Des voix intérieures qui prennent mille formes différentes, mais qui ont toutes le même objectif : te ralentir, t'empêcher d'avancer, te maintenir dans l'hésitation plutôt que dans l'action.Dans cet épisode, je te propose une méthode en plusieurs étapes pour reprendre le dessus.D'abord, les identifier. Tant qu'ils restent flous et diffus, ils agissent en coulisses sans que tu t'en rendes vraiment compte. Les mettre en lumière, c'est déjà leur enlever une partie de leur pouvoir.Ensuite, leur donner une identité propre. Une forme, un son, parfois même un prénom. Ça peut sembler étrange, mais ça permet une chose essentielle : détacher le saboteur de toi. Le saboteur n'est pas toi, et tu n'es pas lui.Puis vient le moment de les mettre à distance, en leur parlant directement si besoin, pour reprendre un peu de contrôle sur l'espace qu'ils occupent.Et enfin, passer à l'action malgré eux. Parce que les saboteurs détestent une chose par-dessus tout : l'action. Même un petit pas, même imparfait, suffit à réduire leur emprise.On termine sur un point souvent oublié : la bienveillance envers toi-même. Les saboteurs se nourrissent de ta sévérité, de tes comparaisons, de tes jugements. T'accorder le droit à l'erreur et le temps d'apprendre, c'est une des façons les plus concrètes de leur couper l'herbe sous le pied.Un épisode pour apprendre à reconnaître ce qui te freine, et à agir malgré tout.Florence, coach en évolution et transition professionnelle.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Me suivre ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Retrouvez mes accompagnements de coaching sur mon site internet.Suivez les aventures de JUNKO sur mon compte intagramSuivez l'ensemble de mes activités professionnelles sur mon compte linkedin▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Me soutenir ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Si vous avez apprécié cet épisode, n'hésitez pas à :Mettre 5 étoiles sur Spotify et/ou Apple Podcast pour me soutenirVous abonner au podcastLe partager en story Instagram en taguant JUNKO (@junko_coaching)Hébergé par Ausha.

You gave the perfect tour. The parent loved everything. And then they enrolled somewhere else.If that scenario makes you want to scream into a pillow, this episode is for you. In today's episode, I'm walking you through the four silent saboteurs quietly costing you enrollment: the first impression gap, the trust signals your team is missing, the confidence gap, and the follow-through factor. None of these have anything to do with your program quality. All of them have everything to do with how you communicate it.I share real stories from schools I've worked with, including a director who couldn't figure out why her inquiry-to-tour ratio was so low (spoiler: it wasn't her facility), and why "we'll think about it" almost never means what you think it means.What You'll LearnWhy parents form their opinion of your school long before they ever call or tourThe exact phrases that unintentionally signal "you're just like everyone else" to a touring familyWhat parents are really asking when they ask about your schedule, your rates, or your teacher retentionWhy confident answers beat perfect answers every single timeHow to build genuine confidence in a team member who feels awkward or unsure in front of familiesThe follow-up mistake that quietly hands enrollments to your competitorsConnect With Us:Join us on Substack: https://chaniewilschanski.substack.com/
Have you ever noticed how many of our daily decisions we make simply because they feel familiar? The way we handle pressure. The way we set boundaries. The way we view hard work. The way we hold ourselves back from outshining the room. The rules we grew up with served a purpose. Most of them were brilliant childhood survival strategies, and I know many of you carry them too. But lately I've been pondering... Whose rules are we actually living by at this stage in our lives? In this episode, we look at how family conditioning shapes our current reality and creates automated behavioral patterns that subtly keep us shrinking or miserable because they no longer align. We explore why our brains are wired to keep us locked into these old scripts, how common Saboteurs like the Hyper-Achiever or the Pleaser try to run the show, and how to tell the difference between the loud, defensive arguments of the inner critic and the quiet, expansive invitations of our intuition. I also share a few of my own current hurdles, from navigating a riding lawnmower on a sloped property to catching myself falling into the old habit of refusing to ask for help. We talk about shifting from a constricted left-brain mindset to a curious right-brain perspective. I truly believe we aren't meant to spend our lives rebelling against the past. We are meant to become conscious enough to choose exactly what we want to bring forward with us, and what has reached its expiration date. Because maybe you don't need anyone's permission to change your mind or your direction. Maybe it's time to start Rewriting Personal Rules so that guidelines like "joy is productive" and "rest is responsible" become your new foundation. If you've been carrying the weight of old familial expectations that were never yours to begin with, I hope you'll join me. --- As a successful individual, you already possess the drive, but connecting your intuition with the right mindset is crucial to living a truly fulfilling life. My intuitive coaching bridges that gap, guiding you toward clarity and the life you've been striving for. Why go it alone when I can help you harness your inner wisdom and mindset to navigate your path? Ready to step into the life that's waiting for you?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Erica Ross-Krieger discuss: Recognizing and celebrating small wins Shifting from fear-based to love-based decision making Identifying and challenging internal saboteurs Staying present and coming to your senses Potential collaboration between Jennie and Erica Key Takeaways: Catching and celebrating small wins, even a simple fist pump, can be a powerful way to shift your mindset from fear to love. Becoming aware of your inner saboteurs, such as the "judge," is the first step to overcoming them, and rather than judging yourself for these negative thought patterns, approach them with curiosity and compassion, and actively work to replace them with more empowering beliefs. By consciously shifting your attention to your senses and the immediate experience, you can short-circuit the fear response and access your more resourceful, "sage" state of mind. Combine practical business strategies, such as 90-day goal-setting, with emotional intelligence work, as it can be a powerful formula for sustainable success. The synergy between Jennie's direct sales expertise and Erica's Positive Intelligence coaching suggests an exciting potential combination. "The Zen theory of change. I free myself not by trying to free myself, but by simply noticing how I imprison myself.” — Erica Ross-Krieger Connect with Erica Ross-Krieger: Twitter Handle: https://twitter.com/EricaRossCoach Facebook Business Page: https://www.facebook.com/EricaRossCoach LinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericarosscoach/ Website: ericarosscoach.com/toolkit Connect with Jennie: Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Email: jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.com Facebook personal page: https://facebook.com/jbellingerPL Facebook podcast page: http://facebook.com/BadassDirectSalesMastery Facebook group for Badass Crew: https://facebook.com/groups/BadassDirectSalesMoms Instagram: https://instagram.com/BadassDirectSalesMastery Personal Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenniebellinger LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/BadassDirectSalesMastery Show Notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Taking responsibility for someone else's happiness feels like love. There's a case that it's actually control.Steph unpacks the hidden dynamics of codependency and people pleasing, and why taking responsibility for someone else's happiness can actually be disempowering. She breaks down how old saboteurs convince us that managing other people's emotions is our job, and why that belief keeps us stuck in shaky, unbalanced relationships. She walks through what it looks like to release that need for control, take radical ownership of your own feelings, and let the people you love do the same.In this episode you'll discover:The argument that "fixing" other people's emotions could be a selfish actHow saboteurs and old childhood coping patterns create people-pleasing and codependent habitsWhy trying to control someone else's happiness is disempowering, not helpfulYour takeaways:Notice the exact moment you step in to manage someone else's mood, and check in with how it feels in your body before you actTell the people in your life you believe they're capable of handling their own emotions, instead of stepping in to fix things for themRelease the need for control in your relationships so they can become more genuine, connected, and honestChapters00:00 Introduction: personal happiness and where our responsibility lies02:10 The coach who called fixing others a selfish act05:30 Why coaching assumes people are capable, resourceful, and whole08:15 Saboteurs, childhood patterns, and the roots of people pleasing11:40 Defining codependency and the illusion of control14:00 Two steps to break the pattern: awareness and new behavior17:20 Taking radical ownership of your own happiness19:00 Closing thoughts and sign-off
Have you ever noticed how much time we spend trying to recover from life? Recover from childhood. Recover from relationships. Recover from burnout. Recover from loss. Recover from all the things we wish had gone differently. Please don't misunderstand me. Healing matters. I've done plenty of it myself, and I know many of you have too. But lately I've been pondering... What if recovery isn't the destination? As my 57th birthday was upon me, I've spent a little more time reflecting, and one thought kept coming back to me. What if life is inviting us into discovery instead of asking us to stay in recovery? In this episode, we're talking about what happens after we've caught our breath. We'll explore why our brains are wired to protect us, why our intuition often whispers long before fear starts shouting, and how Positive Intelligence helps us recognize when our Saboteurs are trying to keep us living in yesterday's story. I'll also share the story of Fortuna, a senior rescue horse who reminded me that recovery comes first...and discovery comes second. Watching her settle into a new environment, find her herd, and become part of an equine therapy program was one of those moments that quietly changed how I see life. We'll talk about curiosity, intuition, the wisdom of our brains, and why I believe spirituality isn't about escaping our humanity. It's about becoming more awake to it. Because maybe the goal isn't to spend our lives fixing ourselves. Maybe it's time to become curious enough to discover who we are now. If you've been carrying the weight of believing you have to heal everything before you're allowed to fully live, I hope you'll join me. --- As a successful individual, you already possess the drive, but connecting your intuition with the right mindset is crucial to living a truly fulfilling life. My intuitive coaching bridges that gap, guiding you toward clarity and the life you've been striving for. Why go it alone when I can help you harness your inner wisdom and mindset to navigate your path? Ready to step into the life that's waiting for you?
life success - 4 saboteurs and the reset required this next 12 months by Business Benchmark Group
Did you know that at one point in our lives, 70% of people experience Imposter Syndrome or now called Imposter Complex/Phenomenon. And P.S., 75% of executive women have experienced it. I've had many highly successful and motivated Type A female clients come to me wanting to be “fixed.” I always give them the same answer. This is not an on and off switch. There is no fixing. This is a process of unlearning and relearning, of noticing and reframing, and reconnecting to your body. It's using your tools when the inner critic strikes, because it will. Inner critic is simply a sign that you are leveling up and facing fear. I know easier said than done, but you can manage it. As Maya Angelou says, “When we know better, we do better.”During my conversation with guest, Jessica Wright, we talk about knowledge that we can arm ourselves with when managing on our inner critics. During the show, Jessica and I chatted about:What Positive Intelligence and the Saboteurs are.The benefits of knowing our Saboteurs and how we find out ours. If the Saboteurs remain consistent or if they can change over time.We chatted about what Jessica and my top Saboteurs are and how they show up. How does all of this relate to the inner critic and why knowledge is power. Here is more about Jessica:Jessica Wright, an ACC-credentialed Life & Career Development Coach, helps new and emerging leaders build confidence, lead with purpose, and create a lasting legacy...without sacrificing their personal lives. Because leadership isn't actually about proving yourself in the hard times. It's about support. It's about clarity. It's about helping people feel seen, heard, and connected to the mission.With a Master's degree in Transformational Leadership, Jessica helps leaders navigate the pressures of their roles, overcome burnout, and empowers them to redefine success on their own terms. Jessica is also the host of Illustrating Leadership Podcast and the creator of the Illustrating Leadership Summit.When she's not coaching or podcasting, you can find Jessica chasing down her naughty dachshund, seeking out her next cup of coffee, or starting a crafting project that she may or may not eventually finish.You can reach her at jessicawright.online.If the Brave Women at Work Podcast has helped you personally or professionally, please share it with a friend, colleague, or family member.

It's 1864, and against the backdrop of the US Civil War- a war the Confederacy is losing- a group of spies and saboteurs have set up a base in Montreal, Canada. Today we would call this a sanctuary or a safe haven. Canada would become home to several infamous Confederate missions, some of which are detailed in Tim Wendel's novel Rebel Falls. While this book is fictional, it's grounded in several real-life stories. Guest host Dr. Mark Jacobson sits down with Tim Wendel as he takes us across the border into the world of Civil War espionage.

What if the secret to lasting change isn't a single powerful moment, but thousands of tiny, unremarkable ones? That's the central idea behind Eric Zimmer's powerful new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life. Eric is the host of The One You Feed podcast and a long-time figure in the recovery community with 26 years of sobriety. In Episode 424, he and I explored why real transformation happens slowly — and why that's actually good news. The Hammer and the Chisel Eric opens his book with the story of Dasrath Manjhi, an Indian man who lost his wife because the road to the hospital was impossibly long. After her death, he took a hammer and chisel to the mountain separating his village from the town and spent decades chipping away at it — enduring ridicule and seemingly no progress — until he had carved a path that cut travel time by 90%. Eric calls this the ultimate story of how a little becomes a lot: not dynamite, just consistent effort. Why Progress Is Invisible Before It's Obvious One of the most important points Eric makes is that progress happens long before we can see it. Our brains, wired for negativity bias, are constantly scanning for what's not working — which makes it easy to miss all the marbles accumulating in the jar. He shared a story of a client who began putting a marble in a jar each sober day (without removing any for slips), and how seeing that jar fill up over months changed her entire relationship with her recovery. The Recipe for Change Eric's formula is simple but not easy: low-resistance actions, done consistently, over time, in the same direction. Low-resistance doesn't mean tiny — it means something you will actually do. Consistent means you don't stop when it gets hard or invisible. And same direction means you aren't scattered across 30 goals. The 6 Saboteurs of Self-Control Eric identifies six things that derail us at our "choice points": The Autopilot Pitfall — acting without awareness (hello, phone scrolling) Fatigue Fallout — being too tired to make good choices The Shortsighted Stumble — valuing the present over the future (play the tape all the way through) Emotional Escapism — wanting to feel different than you do The Self-Doubt Stalemate — believing you can't do it The Insignificance Trap — thinking one day doesn't matter Action Items from This Episode Do the values exercise on page 35: identify three times you were happiest, most proud, and most fulfilled — then look for the pattern. Pick a "guide" — someone you admire — and note what qualities you admire. Those are your values. Identify your current top saboteur and name one structural change to make it easier to choose well. Start a marble jar. Seriously.

AI is shifting how value is perceived in business, and leadership is being redefined alongside it. In this episode, Mellissa Seaman speaks to sovereignty, internal authority, and the quiet power of leading from within. She unpacks why traditional leadership language feels misaligned for many women and what it means to hold your own centre in a landscape that rewards noise and control. This conversation grounds leadership in thought mastery, presence, and self-trust. It brings attention back to the one place real authority lives and changes how decisions, visibility, and client relationships are held. In This Episode, Mellissa Talks About: • Why "queen" and "boss" language can feel disconnected from true leadership • Sovereignty as self-leadership, not control over others • The role of thought awareness in how you lead and show up • Letting go of inherited beliefs about power and authority • What grounded, internal leadership actually looks like in practice Timestamps 00:00 Why leadership language feels off 01:00 Redefining sovereignty in modern leadership 02:00 Power over your thoughts, not people 03:00 Letting go of control and external expectations 04:15 Grounded leadership and inner authority 05:30 What true alignment actually feels like More Resources:
We all have a version of this story. Something happens. We get caught. We get embarrassed. And instead of owning it — we make it worse. This week I'm recording from Miami with a true story that illustrates exactly that. It's funny. It's human. And it's a perfect example of what our saboteurs look like in real life — and what it costs us when we let them run the show. I also get honest about my own version of this. A moment from the last few months where I let my saboteurs take the wheel — and what the real work of repair actually looked like after. This is the kind of thing we go deep on inside Your Next Chapter. But today you get the real-life version, live from Miami, with all the mess included. 3 Things You'll Take Away: What your saboteurs actually look like in action. Not in theory, in a real story, with real consequences. You'll recognize yourself in this one.What repair really requires. It's more than an apology. It's a practice. And it's something you can learn.Why doing this work matters beyond you. When our saboteurs run unchecked, other people pay the price.

On this episode, we examine the subversive tactics of the communist movement. How do they carry out sabotage operations? What is the main goal behind it all? And, how can you fight back against it? We ask the questions.
Exposed again. An important call now exists on video. Federal civil employees, living on tax payer dollars, are working hard to circumvent our Constitution. Pay attention DOJ. Does a union for tax funded jobs make sense? There are laws covering civil service. This video should justify decertification of their federal employee union. These people are launching Influence operations against citizens. When your fight is gone, the team no longer needs you. Tiny violins rule.We watch taxpayer funded campaigns and collective action. They organized the shutdown showdown. Sabotage, slowing down government, delaying segments, MSM will never discuss this. They are part of the operation. G4P meets to plan an overthrow of the government. False flags and mass casualty events for public control. What were the goals of the Aussie operation? Exposing deception makes people angry. Distributing subversion to cover it up. Is this emergency governance or abuse of power? These are tough times for military parents. Obama, DHS and influence operations. We all must learn to forgive those who have hurt us, although it could be the hardest move of all.

“Real life conspiracies pose a certain challenge for political analysis,” wrote Jewish Currents contributors Noah Kulwin and Ari Brostoff in their 2019 piece on Jeffrey Epstein, the child sex trafficker, financier, and international rainmaker. As recently reported in a series of articles at Drop Site News, Epstein had close ties to the Israeli intelligence community, and frequently brokered meetings for former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, including meetings that resulted in the establishment of security ties with Mongolia and the sale of mass surveillance infrastructure to Cote d'Ivoire's authoritarian government. What do these revelations tell us about the flows of power and money across the billionaire class? And what do we do with the extent to which Epstein's story reads like an antisemitic conspiracy come to life? To explore these questions, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel spoke with Kulwin, a co-host of Blowback, a podcast about US empire and interventionism, and Ryan Grim, co-founder of Drop Site News and the co-author of multiple recent reports about Epstein.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Articles and Media Mentioned and Further ReadingDrop Site reporting on “Epstein and Israel” by Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussein“The Right Kind of Continuity,” Ari Brostoff and Noah Kulwin, Jewish Currents“The worst thing about Davos?

In this powerful episode of the Daily Living for Christ Podcast, Donald E. Coleman explores the biblical and contemplative truth behind the wilderness. He reveals why every believer must pass through this sacred terrain. Far from being punishment, the wilderness is God's preferred place of formation—where saboteurs are exposed, false identities fall away, and the voice of God becomes unmistakably clear.You'll discover how Jesus, Moses, David, Elijah, and the early Church were all shaped by wilderness seasons, and how your current season may be the very place God is preparing you to awaken as His Beloved.Join us as we reclaim the wilderness as holy ground and learn to recognize God's transformative presence in the quiet, hidden, and uncertain places of life.Here are some resources to support you in the journey:The Beloved PrayerOverview of the Ten SaboteursTake the free Saboteur Assessment"Have Questions, Send us a Message" This podcast is a production of The Center for Biblical Coaching and Leadership.

Shirzad Chamine experienced a traumatic childhood, raised in Iran by a father who was full of a frightening rage. Following high school, Shirzad decided to move to the United States and make his future there. Along the way, he heard an inner whisper telling him to make a positive influence on a worldwide scale. After a variety of education experience, he developed innovative theories that resulted in the New York Times bestselling book, Positive Intelligence. In this Blue Sky episode, you'll learn more about Shirzad Chamine's remarkable life and inspiring work. Chapters: 00:00 Welcome Shirzad Chamine Shirzad shares his early childhood in Iran, a turbulent upbringing with a rage-filled father, and how this traumatic experience later became a gift. 01:43 The Whispers of a World Stage Shirzad recounts his journey to the U.S. seeking new possibilities and the powerful whisper in his heart that guided him towards transforming millions of lives. This whisper, present since childhood, fueled his pursuit of a path to make a significant impact on the world stage. 05:19 From Psychology to Engineering to Business Shirzad discusses his unconventional educational path and explains how his disillusionment with the 'California New Age' approach to therapy led him to seek a more rational and scientific method for understanding and changing human lives. 08:30 The Birth of the Saboteur: The Judge Shirzad shares a pivotal moment at Stanford Business School where classmates' feedback about his judgmental nature led to a profound epiphany. This realization birthed the concept of the 'Judge' saboteur, a character in his mind that constantly finds fault with others and himself, sabotaging his relationships and self-perception. 12:51 Saboteurs and Sage: The Inner War Shirzad explains how his childhood experiences and the Stanford epiphany led to the development of the Positive Intelligence framework, which describes an internal war between inner saboteurs and the inner sage. 16:09 The Root Cause Operating System Shirzad critiques traditional coaching for failing to create lasting habits and treating symptoms rather than root problems. He introduces his 'root cause operating system' derived from factor analysis research, identifying 10 saboteurs (negative response factors) and 5 sage powers (positive Jedi powers) that optimize well-being and performance. 20:44 Sustained Transformation with the PQ App Shirzad explains that despite the book's success, readers often reverted to old habits because insights don't build mental muscle. 25:43 Understanding and Managing Your Saboteurs Bill Burke and Shirzad discuss the 'Pleaser' and 'Avoider' saboteurs, explaining how saboteurs are overused natural strengths. 30:44 Don't Judge the Judge: Quieting Saboteurs Shirzad emphasizes that saboteurs never fully disappear but can be diminished from a 'megaphone to a whisper' through consistent practice. 38:05 Performance and Saboteurs Shirzad explains how saboteurs impact performance, using a basketball analogy to show how self-doubt can cause choking in critical moments. 44:31 Normalizing Saboteurs in Teams Shirzad discusses how leaders can create a more effective team environment by openly sharing their saboteurs. By normalizing imperfection, teams can move past defensiveness and foster authentic communication, leading to better collaboration and problem-solving. 49:04 The Shift to Compassion Shirzad describes his personal transformation from a judgmental mindset to one of deep compassion, driven by rewiring his brain through mental fitness practices. 52:52 Mission for Mental Fitness Shirzad shares his mission to bring mental fitness education to humanity, starting in schools, believing it could transform society by equipping future generations with tools to manage their minds.

Let me start with a story I hear almost every week. A woman tells me, “I'm eating clean. I'm exercising. I'm doing everything right — but I'm still tired, inflamed, and stuck.” She's counting calories, skipping desserts, yet the scale won't move and her clothes fit the same.The truth? It's not a lack of discipline — it's hidden inflammation. Your body isn't ignoring your effort; it's trying to protect you.Today, we're going to talk about the silent saboteurs — the inflammatory triggers that block weight loss, drain your energy, and accelerate aging — and how to calm the fire naturally through a functional nutrition lens.
Let us know what you enjoy about the show!When fear shows up, it's easy to see it as something to push past or avoid. But what if fear isn't a wall—it's a bridge? A bridge that can carry you from rut to rhythm, from stagnation to movement, from habit to possibility.In this short, powerful excerpt from my upcoming book I Get To: The Power of Energetic Choice, I share a personal ritual, a metaphor rooted in music and movement, and a framework for understanding the inner blocks that keep us stuck.✨ You'll hear about:How fear can act as a bridge to flow rather than a barrierThe power of “finding your groove”L.I.S.A.™ — Limiting Beliefs, Interpretations, Saboteurs, and Assumptions — the invisible forces that hold us backHow naming your blocks gives you the power to cross the bridge toward possibilityIf you've ever felt frozen on the edge of something new, this episode is for you.#EnergeticChoice #FearAndFlow #Mindfulness #CreativeLiving #PersonalGrowth #Podcast #LisaHopkins #IGETTO #InnerWork #PossibilityIf you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!

On this episode of "Stinchfield", we demand accountability—not just from the deep state operatives and Democrat liars who peddled the Russian collusion hoax, but from those inside President Trump’s own first administration who stayed silent while the coup unfolded. Why didn’t CIA Director Mike Pompeo release the exculpatory evidence when it could have mattered most? Why did Attorney General Jeff Sessions cower and recuse himself, opening the door for the witch hunt? We expose how these so-called allies ultimately betrayed the America First movement.
