The Psychology of Self-Sabatoge: Insights from The Mountain Is You

The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest: A Life-Changing Guide to Overcoming Self-Sabotage

There are books that shift your perspective, and then there are books that transform you. The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest is one of those rare gems—concise, insightful, and deeply personal. It’s easily in my top five favorite books of all time.

At its core, this book explores the ways we unconsciously hold ourselves back, whether through limiting beliefs, fear of change, or unhealthy patterns. But what makes Wiest’s writing so powerful is how she weaves together psychology, emotional healing, and practical wisdom in a way that feels like a compassionate conversation with a trusted teacher or mentor.

One of my biggest takeaways is the idea that self-sabotage isn’t about weakness or failure—it’s a misguided form of self-protection. Once we recognize that, we can start addressing the underlying fears and truly step into our highest potential.

If you’re looking for a book that is both gentle and firm in its guidance—one that calls you out while also calling you forwardThe Mountain Is You is that book. It’s a short, powerful read, and one you’ll want to revisit often. It's also available on Audible.

Thank you for joining me on this journey my friends. Happy Super Bowl Sunday! 🏈

With love & gratitude,
