Are you stuck at "better"?

Maybe life is okay. Maybe it's even good — especially compared to where you used to be. But what if you're unknowingly camping out at 60% of your potential… and calling it enough?

In this episode, I unpack what happens when progress becomes a plateau, and fear of restriction keeps us from discovering what's truly possible.

We'll explore:

  • Why comfort can quietly block you from greatness

  • The real reason your next level feels "too hard"

  • How our brains lie to us about sacrifice and deprivation

  • A client story that reveals the hidden trap of "better"

  • What to do if your "why" feels shallow or fake

If you've ever thought, "I've come so far… but I'm scared to go further," this one's for you.

🔥 What You'll Learn
  • Why "better" isn't the finish line — and how it becomes a subtle trap

  • What to do if you're afraid of giving up your current comforts

  • How to reframe restriction, routine, and what you think you're "missing out" on

  • What it looks like to stop avoiding possibility

  • Why you don't need a big, dramatic "why" to change — and what to focus on instead

  • How to win the next hour, not just the next month
