The Mountain Is You: Break Free from Self-Sabotage Today

Your Mountain, Your Responsibility

We’ve all had those moments where we know we’re the only thing standing in our own way. That’s where The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest comes in. This book doesn’t just help you see your patterns—it gives you the tools to break them. It’s about owning your self-sabotage, shifting your mindset, and finally stepping into the version of yourself you’ve been avoiding.

When I first listened to this audiobook, I didn’t realize how much I needed it. It forced me to sit with some hard truths about how I’d been throwing myself under the bus—again and again. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same cycles, knowing deep down you’re capable of more, but something keeps pulling you back—this book will shake you awake.

✨ Why This Book Hits Different

This audiobook kept me locked in, whether I was driving or getting a workout in. But don’t let the easy listen fool you—this book makes you think. I found myself hitting pause just to process some of the realizations it sparked.

Brianna Wiest has a way of breaking things down so they click. She doesn’t sugarcoat it, but she’s not harsh either. She reminds you that self-sabotage isn’t failure—it’s a survival mechanism gone rogue. But here’s the thing: growth doesn’t happen inside your comfort zone. And this book makes sure you get that.

🔥 One Line That Stuck With Me

“Your new life is going to cost you your old one.”

Whew. That one sentence alone will have you rethinking everything. Real transformation isn’t about just adding new habits—it’s about letting go of the old ones. The excuses, the outdated beliefs, even the people who keep you small. You can’t have it both ways.

💡 How This Book Shifted My Perspective

Listening to The Mountain Is You had me realizing that my “mountains” weren’t obstacles—they were reflections of my own patterns. I was the one in my way.

This book gave me the clarity to:

✅ Recognize when I’m sabotaging myself (and stop it in real-time).
✅ Ditch the excuses and own my choices.
✅ Stop running from discomfort and lean into growth.
✅ Trust myself by actually following through.

Now, when I catch myself slipping into old habits, I remind myself: the mountain isn’t in the way—it IS the way. Facing it is the only way forward.
