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.

EP 760 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BODY) How to Get Your Energy, Body, & Skin Snatched- Even If You Feel Unmotivated right now

If your energy feels inconsistent, your body no longer responds the way it used to, and your skin seems to reflect stress more than confidence, this episode explains why that is happening at the identity and nervous system level.

The 2026 Glow Up Protocol begins with the body because every habit, every discipline pattern, and every glow up is controlled by internal safety signals, not motivation.

This episode is part of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a 6-part identity reset covering the body, the bank account, the business, the brain, the being, and the boundaries. It is designed for burnt out high achievers who are ready to stop pushing harder and start becoming the version of themselves that success actually sticks to.

EP 759 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BRAND) How to Create a Magnetic Personal Brand That Matches Your True Self

Your personal brand is not your logo, your colors, or your social media bio. It is the identity you live from every single day. It is the story you tell about who you are, what you stand for, and what you believe is possible for your life.

This episode is the starting point of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a six part identity transformation playbook designed for high achievers who feel burnt out, disconnected, and ready to deliberately craft a life that feels aligned instead of draining. This is a completely different way to approach personal growth, because nothing changes sustainably until your identity changes first.

Your brand is the hub of the wheel. It is the center that everything else spins from. Your body, your brain, your business, and your relationship with money will never feel stable if the story you tell about yourself is outdated.
