Episode 273: BEST OF EUPHORIC: Expand Your Capacity to Feel Good, Stop Self-Sabotaging, and Create the Healthiest Relationship Ever with Gay and Katie Hendricks

Why do we hit invisible ceilings in our happiness, love, and success?

This is the "upper limit problem," and it's sneakier than you might think… often leading us to self-sabotage, just when things are starting to look up.

Today's guests, Gay and Katie Hendricks, are literally my idols. Experts on all things personal growth and relationships, they have trained thousands of coaches, authored more than 40 books, and have even appeared on Oprah.

It's time to peel back the layers of upper limits and smash our own glass ceilings. When we fear we're shining too bright, we're dimming our zone of genius. This problem can also seep into our relationships – impacting our personal growth AND our happiness.

I have experienced the upper limit problem personally and with my clients. Hear how I had one of the worst weeks ever following the excitement of my 6-figure book deal. Why is this phenomenon even happening to us?

Don't miss the key insights from Gay and Katie on "conscious loving" to build healthy, dynamic relationships, and how to unlearn the unconscious patterns we repeatedly fall into.

IN THIS EPISODE:

What is an upper limit? And the evolutionary reasons why people often can't handle long periods of time where things go well
How to unearth your genius by revisiting your childhood: what did you love to do? How did time used to disappear?
The limiting beliefs that can crimp your genius – for example, that you're fundamentally flawed in some way
How Gay and Katie met, a glimpse into the roots of their love story, and the theory behind "conscious loving", to increase the energy you have together
The #1 relationship killer and the three BIG emotions you need to get good at in order to solve problems
Using body sensations to develop your emotional intelligence
