    I resonate with all of this!!! We all have some version of self-sabotage that kills and steals our dreams and potential. When I hear stories like this it reminds me I am not alone, that I am not unique in my own challenge with self-sabotage. What courage to share this from the stage Elizabeth. Your obedience to God’s calling on your life will set many many people free from self bandage.

I've been part of your voyage, and am so proud of the genuine, powerful person you are continually evolving into...as you did in dance. The most precious element of it all is the drive to share and inspire others through your story. I'm smiling big-time. Thank you for the flash of your dancing including the great times with Contemporary Motions. I love you tons. Julio ❤❤❤

    Thank you Eliza, you did great, you are brave and beautiful. Your experience and personal story really resonated strongly. Simple trick to pause and re-think before going into whirlwind and letting Automatic behaviour dictate, instead in that very moment we can close our eyes and take deep breath or two before making a choice that will be true to our soul and growth.

    Great topic and presentation. I think self-sabotage is an issue for many people that prevents them from reaching their potential and having the life they want. The presenter was articulate, open and gave a powerful presentation. Great job and good topic.
