Ep 9: Beyond Fear: Uplevelling, Self-Sabotage & the Big Leap


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into the Upper Limit Problem - the sneaky ways we self-sabotage when life feels “too good.” Inspired by Gay Hendricks’ book The Big Leap, we explore why fear, hidden beliefs, and old patterns kick in just as we start to expand and how to move past them.


We dive into:

✨ What the Upper Limit Problem is and how to spot it in your own life

✨ How worry, self-doubt, or chaos sneak in when things are going well

✨ The four hidden barriers that keep us small (feeling flawed, fear of abandonment, burden, and outshining)

✨ Real-life stories of how self-sabotage has shown up for us and the shifts that helped

✨ Practical tools like the “I cannot expand because…” exercise to rewire limiting beliefs


If you’ve ever found yourself worrying, downplaying your wins, or holding back from your next step, this conversation will help you notice the patterns, break free from self-sabotage, and expand into your full potential.
