Have you ever noticed that right when life starts to feel good—something happens?

In this episode, I (Susan Sutherland) share a personal, real-time experience of the “upper limit problem” (inspired by The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks) and how it shows up not just in success or money, but in relationships, joy, and everyday life.

After returning from a beautiful family trip, I found myself navigating relationship tension, business stress, and unexpected disruptions—all while learning about the very pattern I was living.

This episode explores:

•  Why we unconsciously disrupt ease and happiness 
•  How the nervous system pulls us back to what feels familiar 
•  The difference between self-sabotage and regulation 
•  How to build capacity for joy, connection, and success 

This is a lived reflection—not a perfect resolution.

A reminder that:
 You are not doing life wrong.
 You may simply be expanding your capacity to hold more good.
