Rachel Wilson Thibodeaux
You’re probably not ready for this podcast, but that's ok. Getting out your own freaking way, at some point, is sure to involve doing something you don't feel ready for. Like getting out the way of your next best move, and your BREAKTHROUGH brand that can explode your results. If you're an impact-driven entrepreneur, expert, or thought leader, you're in the right place. Each episode will provide actionable steps/strategies to get you out your own way and into where you SHOULD be - even if you don’t have it all figured out, it makes you uncomfortable, or it scares the hell out of you. Ready or not, let’s go!

There are plenty of obstacles to stand in your way. As I like to say, don't let any of those obstacles be YOU. Whether it’s fear, doubt, the dreaded imposter syndrome, thinking you’re not good enough, or chasing perfection when you should be chasing possibilities, it’s time to stop self sabotaging.
Join me, Rachel Wilson Thibodeaux, also known as the SWAG Strategist, for the podcast you absolutely need in your life if you're committed to breaking up with your comfort zone and are allergic to average.
We kick off the greatness with this very first episode. I'll be dropping two examples of how otherwise successful people get in their own way, one of which is way too common and too costly. Also find out why self sabotage is not just about ourselves and who else it can impact (hint: it's not just your loved ones).
