Episode 4: Self-Sabotage

Yep, we’re going there. From procrastination to picking fights to over-prepping yourself out of action, we share the sneaky ways self-sabotage creeps in—and how to stop getting in your own way.

If everything feels like a priority… nothing actually is. In this raw and relatable episode, Carin and Marcia dive into the real reason so many solopreneurs feel overwhelmed: unclear values, scattered focus, and never-ending to-do lists that don’t align with what matters most.

They break down their go-to strategies for identifying your “domino”—the one thing that makes everything else easier—and share how getting brutally honest about your values can transform the way you show up in your business and your life.

From brain dumps and strategic self-checks to rethinking productivity beyond the hustle, this episode is a permission slip to stop doing all the things—and start doing the right things.

They talk about navigating networking as introverts, finding your biz besties, protecting your energy while still showing up, and how to spot the difference between self-sabotage and strategic solitude. This isn’t about transactional networking—it’s about meaningful, intentional connection that fuels your growth and reminds you: you’re not alone in this.
