If you’ve ever felt like you start strong with your health habits… only to fall back into old patterns - this episode is for you.

In this honest solo conversation, Ro unpacks why self-sabotage isn’t about lack of discipline - it’s often about coping.

You’ll learn how nervous system overload, all-or-nothing thinking and comfort-seeking behaviours can quietly pull you off track - and how to interrupt the pattern with more compassion and support.

The Cycle of Self-Sabotage

Many women move through this cycle without realising:

  1. Seeking comfort
  2. Feeling relief
  3. Guilt
  4. Self-criticism
  5. Giving up

Understanding the cycle is the first step to breaking it.

In This Episode

• Why self-sabotage is protective, not destructive
 • The link between comfort-seeking and nervous system load
 • How shame keeps the cycle going
 • Simple ways to rebuild momentum when you feel off track
