I’m thrilled to be joined by my coach and one of my dearest friends for the 150th episode of the Your Favorite You podcast! Maggie Reyes has been on the show several times before, and I’m so glad she's back today to discuss procrastination, redefining self-sabotage, and the “loving SmackDowns” we all need sometimes when we’re stuck in our own perspective.

When we pass up an opportunity or go slower than expected, we tend to label it as self-sabotage. But what would happen if we viewed it as self-protection instead? What if we recognized that every part of us is on our side? This shift opens the door for more compassion, clarity, and a deeper relationship with yourself.

In this episode, we’ll dive into this topic and more, discovering that the protective part of us emerges for a reason and it’s there to help you on your journey to becoming your favorite you.
