Episode #901

Ever find yourself stuck at a certain level in your career, fitness, or relationships, no matter how hard you try?

Together, they discuss why we sometimes sabotage our own success, fall back into bad habits, or resist progress even when we want it. You’ll learn about:

• The power of self-imposed labels and how they create mental "ceilings"
• Why hitting a plateau is often more about your mindset than your skills
• The role of nervous system conditioning in keeping you from moving forward
• Actionable steps to break through personal limits, including building a support system and refocusing on what really drives you

Whether it’s in business, fitness, or relationships, this conversation will help you uncover what's holding you back and what you can do to keep reaching new heights.
