Overcoming Upper Limit Problems for Greater Abundance


In this episode, Mona delves into the concept of 'Upper Limit Problems,' inspired by the book 'The Big Leap' by Gay Hendricks. She discusses how arguing against possibilities often means arguing for one's own limitations and how our nervous system's comfort zone can restrict growth and success. Through examples, including those from healthcare and education, Mona explores how unfamiliar ease or success can trigger self-sabotage. She identifies four hidden barriers: feeling fundamentally flawed, disloyalty and abandonment, believing success is a burden, and the crime of outshining. Mona provides actionable steps for recognizing and overcoming these barriers, promoting a gradual shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance. She ends with insightful questions to help listeners identify areas in their lives where they prefer danger or limitations, and how to start rewiring their nervous system for more success and fulfillment.
