Do You Have an Upper Limiting Problem? And How to Stop this Sabotaging Pattern EP178

“I’m sick again!!!” Like clockwork, I would get sick every time I was going after new big things in my life, both personally and professionally.

Not just a slight cold sick, I’m talking full-fledge stomach flu, sinus infection, walking pneumonia, or bronchitis. I would be knocked down out of commission for a solid week (at least!).

The anxiety was brutal, as it always happened right when I was building something new in my business, when I left my corporate career for entrepreneurship, launching new services/products, when I hired my business coach, and many times while I was in recovery for my exercise addiction, workaholism, and codependency.

I would get so pissed as I didn’t have time to be sick, especially right then. There was truly nothing I could do but obsess, overthink, and do my best to get better.

One of the first things I said to my spiritual coach 14 years ago, ( I hired him loooong before is was thing…so I literally told no one as I knew people would think I lost my damn mind) was me complaining that I kept getting sick every two months and it was so frustrating. His reply, “what you afraid of my dear?” Me afraid noooo, I’m a survivor, a baller, a hustler, I thought….

He explained that me getting sick was my body’s way of manifesting the fear messages in my brain…WHOA, WAIT, WHAT?

“You are subconsciously sabotaging your success, so we need to work on addressing those fears in order for your body to respond differently, and you will stop getting sick so often,” he gently explained with compassion.

Go listen to rest of this story and what unfolded let me know if you can identity with any of these self-sabotaging signs.

You tell yourself you’ll deal with it later.
You’ll check your numbers tomorrow. You’ll follow up next week. You’ll finally get clear on your money “when things calm down.”

But that moment never seems to come.
And instead… you stay busy doing everything else.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the flight response with money — the pattern that looks like procrastination, distraction, or “being busy,” but is actually your nervous system trying to avoid discomfort.

This is part of a special series on money, fear, and your nervous system, where we uncover how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses shape your income, business decisions, and ability to receive more.

Because avoiding money doesn’t mean you don’t care about it.
It usually means, on a deeper level… it doesn’t feel safe.

Ep 781 3 Ways You’re Blocking Your Quantum Leap (Why It’s Not Clicking Yet)

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but it’s still not clicking?

Like you’re on the edge of a breakthrough, a quantum leap, or a major level up — but instead of momentum, things feel off, unclear, or harder than they should?

This is one of the most common and misunderstood phases in manifestation, business growth, and identity shifts.

And it’s exactly where most people unknowingly block their next level.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 ways people delay their quantum leap — why you feel stuck before a breakthrough, how resistance and control show up, and why discomfort is often the sign you’re expanding… not failing.

If you’ve been questioning why your manifestation isn’t working, why your business or money isn’t growing the way you expected, or why everything feels like it’s not clicking yet — this will give you the clarity you’ve been missing.
