Every entrepreneur hits a ceiling, but many people never realise the ceiling isn’t in their business strategy, it’s in their nervous system capacity and unprocessed childhood experiences. Lachlan Mitchell shares why traditional therapy often perpetuates problems by retelling stories rather than resolving root causes, and how modalities like breath work, shadow work, and somatic processing create the internal space required for the next level of external success. What version of yourself are you protecting that’s preventing the version you’re becoming?
