Episode 63

How Much Success Can You Tolerate?

Published on: 20th July, 2021

I am totally obsessed with helping women bust through their self-imposed limits and busting through my own.  For this week’s solo episode, we are kicking off a mini-series on the topic of upper limit issues - what they are, how to know if you have them (spoiler alert, if you are human, you DO…), and most importantly, how to eliminate them so you can reach your true potential. 

I have met countless intelligent, driven, ambitious women who unconsciously hold themselves back from the success, love, wellbeing, and genuine happiness that they deserve.  They label it self-sabotage, imposter complex, or doubt that they are truly committed to their dreams, and some of them are even shamed by their coaches when this happens, but upper limits are learned and what is learned can be unlearned. 

The term upper limit issue comes from the best-selling book, The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, Ph.D.  The concepts in this book have changed my life and are one of the cornerstones of my coaching philosophy.  If you have ever wondered why no matter how much you want to achieve your goals and how hard you work toward them, something always seems to get in the way, then you are going to want to listen to this episode, and come back for episodes 65 and 67 as well.  And, don’t forget to get the worksheet so you can apply what you learned to your own life.
