The Success Trap: Why You Self-Sabotage Right After Things Start Going Well

S2E9: Blossoming + Voice - Mind Week Success isn’t what stops most people. It’s what happens right after success. Why do we sabotage ourselves right after things start going well? You land a win…and suddenly doubt creeps in. Someone compliments your work…and you minimize it. Life expands…and your mind quietly pulls you back into familiar patterns. This is The Success Trap- the moment when expansion triggers self-sabotage. In this episode of the Coming Home to You Sparkcast, Margarita Rose explores the concept Gay Hendricks calls The Upper Limit Problem from his book The Big Leap- the subconscious thermostat that determines how much joy, visibility, love, and success we allow ourselves to experience before we shrink. You’ll discover: • Why your mind contracts when life starts going well • How deflecting compliments and judging others can signal an upper limit • The hidden pattern behind success → self-sabotage • A simple awareness practice to expand your capacity for visibility and voice Because blossoming isn’t about becoming louder. It’s about increasing your capacity to feel good while being seen. And awareness…is where that expansion begins.#sparkcast #blossomingandvoice #cominghometoyou #margaritarose #selfsabotage #gayhendricks #upperlimit #zoneofcompetence
