177. Why We Self-Sabotage Just When Things Get Good

from Grow a Thriving Practice Hosted by Jillian Faldmo

Have you ever noticed that just when things start going really well — opportunities open up, momentum builds, results start coming in — something inside you starts to pull back? You cancel a client. You get sick. You tell yourself it won't last. That's not weakness. That's capacity. And in this episode, we're talking about how to expand it. In this episode: The balloon analogy that explains exactly why success can feel so uncomfortable What's actually happening in your body when things start going well — and why your nervous system responds like it's a threat The two most common ways we unconsciously sabotage ourselves just when things get good A simple three-step practice — Pause, Allow, Embody — to help you stretch into the success you've been working so hard to build Why it is safe to be successful and live into your greatest potential The framework from this episode: Pause — let yourself actually feel what's coming up Allow — notice where it lives in your body and soften the edges of it Embody — let the success land This is the work. Not just the strategy and the action steps — but expanding your capacity to receive and hold the success you're building. Ready to go deeper?
