Wpisode 43: Overcoming Self-Sabotage: Understanding the Upper Limit Problem

In this episode of Wellness Mastery, coach Jen Hoyer delves into the concept of self-sabotage and the upper limit problem, a term coined by Dr. Gay Hendricks in his book 'The Big Leap'. Jen explains how our internal set points for success, happiness, and health often pull us back into old, familiar habits just as we're starting to make progress. She discusses the psychological and physiological aspects of this phenomenon, drawing parallels with weight set points and dopamine levels. Jen shares personal experiences and offers actionable steps to identify and change limiting beliefs, helping listeners to move past these internal barriers and achieve lasting wellness.
