Self-Sabotage and Overcoming Your Fear of Dating

Episode Summary

Are you a saboteur? You say you want a great man, but what do you do once they show up? This week, Lisa shares a story about early on in her career when she got a call from Vogue as a fashion photographer, and the ways that she sabotaged her own shot at the job she dreamt of for years. This leads to a bigger talk in self-sabotage, and how tackling your biggest challenges is what gives you the confidence to open up your heart and let in the Guardian of Your Soul.
