Could it be that we self-sabotage our progress whenever we start to expand beyond the level of contentment and achievement we’re used to having in the past? Gay Hendricks, author of several books, including The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level, explores the concept of having an “Upper Limit Problem” and how we can identify and transcend it to move beyond our limiting beliefs and set points.   Guest Bio Gay Hendricks, Ph.D., has been a leader in the fields of relationship transformation and body-mind therapies for more than 45 years.
