A practical, science-based talk on why we get in our own way - and what actually helps.
About this Event

Most people believe self-sabotage is a lack of motivation or discipline.
In reality, it’s often the nervous system doing its job - trying to keep you safe, even when it holds you back.

The Science behind Self-Sabotage is a free, educational talk exploring why capable, intelligent people still procrastinate, burn out, or repeat patterns they consciously want to change - especially around stress, money, success, and performance.

This session is grounded in neuroscience and real-world behaviour change, not hype or surface-level mindset advice.


You’ll learn:
  • Why willpower alone rarely works
  • How the nervous system and subconscious beliefs shape behaviour
  • What’s happening in the brain when we avoid, procrastinate, or self-sabotage
  • Simple, practical tools you can use immediately

This event is suitable for professionals, entrepreneurs, students, creatives, and anyone interested in personal growth or wellbeing. No prior knowledge required.

This is an awareness-focused event - there will be no sales pitch.
Just insight, clarity, and tools you can actually use.
