One of the most impactful books I've ever read is Gay Hendricks’ The Big Leap. I find it helpful to revisit it in mid-January because it reminds me of this concept he discovered called “The Upper Limiting Problem.” In short, we each have a limit on how much abundance, success, and love we think we deserve. Once we start to get close to those thresholds, we self-sabotage and create chaos to stay within the boundaries we’re familiar with.  The key to tapping into your highest potential is to start observing where you hold yourself back. In this episode, I share four of my upper limits and how I’m actively working to break through them.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What “upper limiting” is  Signs you’re on the verge of becoming a better version of yourself How I break out of the procrastination cycle  Cultivating self-validation and confidence  The fastest way to get outside of yourself  RESOURCES The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!
