Episode 53: When things start going well, that should feel exciting, right? But for a lot of us, that’s the exact moment we start slipping. We procrastinate. We pick fights. We stop doing what was working. We start spending. We start overthinking. And then we look up and wonder why we’re back at square one.

In this episode, Dr. Lea breaks down The Upper Limit Problem, the pattern that shows up when your life starts improving, but your mind and habits are still wired for what’s familiar. We’re talking about why success can feel uncomfortable, how fear shows up as “random” behavior, and what to do when you notice yourself pulling back right before a breakthrough.

You’ll leave with clear signs to look for, a simple way to identify your pattern, and homework you can use this week to stay consistent when things start working.
