EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of The Diary of a CEO, featuring Africa Brooke and Steven Bartlett, Victimhood & Self-sabotage Is Destroying The World In 2026: Africa Brooke | E160 explores Africa Brooke Challenges Victimhood, Redefines Healing, Sex, and Self-Responsibility Africa Brooke shares her journey from blackout drinking, compulsive lying, and self-sabotage to sobriety, self-awareness, and personal responsibility. Drawing on childhood trauma, cultural context from Zimbabwe, and her father’s alcoholism, she explains how destructive behaviors often masquerade as self-protection. She criticizes modern victimhood culture, binary politics, and the self-help industry’s promise of complete healing, arguing instead for nuance, emotional resilience, and identity shifts. The conversation also explores sexual shame, porn-influenced sex, tantric practice, and how communication and vulnerability transform intimacy and relationships.
