Ever feel like you’re finally climbing the ladder of success, only to accidentally-on-purpose kick it out from under yourself? Maybe you procrastinate right before a big deadline, pick a fight when your relationship is going perfectly, or ghost a huge opportunity.

Welcome to the club. It’s not because you’re "crazy" or "lazy"—it’s because you are suffering from Self-Sabotage. But here is the controversial twist we explore in this episode: Your self-sabotage is actually trying to save you.

In this deep dive into the psychology of success, we expose why your brain treats a "promotion" or a "happy relationship" like a saber-toothed tiger. We are unpacking the Upper Limit Problem, dissecting the Inner Critic, and revealing why your subconscious mind is addicted to the "safety" of your struggle.

We explain how "getting in your own way" is a sophisticated defense mechanism designed to keep you in your comfort zone. But staying safe implies staying stuck.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why the fear of success is often stronger than the fear of failure.
• How to identify your "Upper Limit" before you crash.
• Practical Somatic Therapy hacks to calm your nervous system when things get too good.
• How to shift from a fixed state to a Growth Mindset using small, manageable goals.

Stop apologizing for wanting more. It’s time to rewire your brain, silence the doubt, and realize that you don’t just want success—you actually deserve it.
