THE UPPER LIMIT PROBLEM : Why You Self-Sabotage When Things Go Well

from The Identity Advantage · host Kindyl Keeton

 Ever notice that right when things start going really well, something goes wrong? You get sick, pick a fight, procrastinate on the thing you care about most—it's called upper limiting, and it's your nervous system's way of pulling you back to what feels safe. In this episode, we break down Gay Hendricks' concept from The Big Leap: the invisible ceiling that limits how much success, happiness, or alignment you allow yourself to feel. You'll learn why your body sabotages you when you exceed your emotional comfort zone, how upper limiting shows up (exhaustion, illness, relationship conflicts, procrastination), and how to regulate your nervous system so it catches up with your growth instead of holding you back. Visit to Submit a question, Suggest a Topic, or just let me know how this episode landed for you. https://www.kindylkeeton.com/podcastInterested in booking Kindyl to speak..
