The Upper Limit Problem | E15

Treehouse Athenaeum

In this solo episode, Lisa explores the concept of the Upper Limit Problem, a theory introduced by Gay Hendricks in his book 'The Big Leap.' She discusses how individuals often self-sabotage when approaching significant life changes due to four main fears: fear of outshining others, fear of leaving others behind, fear of unworthiness, and fear of the burden of success. Lisa encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences with these fears and how they may manifest in their lives, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and mindfulness in overcoming these challenges.
