How Many Of Your Barriers Are Self-Created (2030)

What if the biggest thing holding you back is actually you? In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan talk about the invisible barriers we often build around ourselves—especially those made from fear, doubt, and what we think others expect. They share personal stories, why therapy matters (especially for men), and how true change starts with taking responsibility. If you're feeling stuck, discouraged, or just need a reminder that you're not alone, this one's for you.Learn more about:Next Level Group Coaching - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/Group 18 - Our first call kicks off on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 5 PM EST, and the group runs for three transformative months.
