Podcasts about big leap

Most women don't realize how uncomfortable they are with feeling good—until things start going too well. That's when the sabotage creeps in. A snappy comment. A skipped workout. An unnecessary glass of wine. In today's episode, Colleen breaks down the concept of the “upper limit problem” from The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks—and explains how perfectionists and people-pleasers unknowingly block joy, ease, and success by clinging to struggle. You'll learn how your emotional thermostat gets set in childhood, why guilt and discomfort with pleasure keep you stuck, and how to reset your internal baseline so peace and happiness stop feeling unsafe. This episode is a powerful reminder that you don't have to earn your joy. You just have to stop arguing for your limitations.  

In this podcast, I walk you through a powerful planning exercise: the monthly course correct. This is the tool that keeps you on track so that you can make progress on the big and little goals you set for yourself.

*A new format for the podcast!*Because I often talk about things a few months before they happen, I think it will be helpful to title these segments "Planting Seeds". You might not be ready to think about the end of summer, but this is exactly when you might need to start planning for it! So in this first "planting seeds" segment I talk about the end of summer from two points of view: 1) for people with school age children and 2) for people who don't have to plan around kids.

How do we keep working when tragedy shakes our lives? If seismic events disrupt our foundations, is it possible to build something new with confidence?For Ellie Scarf, suffering a heartbreaking loss led to profound changes that have moved her from her zone of excellence into her zone of genius, where she draws upon her experiences to offer her coaching clients an approach and a service that is uniquely her own.In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Ellie recounts the steps that took her from working as a lawyer in top tier legal firms to becoming a national sales coach for a billion dollar company. She describes how her coaching work was in the midst of a booming resurgence after the COVID-19 pandemic when tragedy struck.In conversation with host Ruth Saville, Ellie explains how she integrated her profound emotional experiences into a new way of working, turning her pain into a point of connection that deepened her client relationships.Now, alongside the client work that brings her joy every day, she also runs the Corporate To Coach Accelerator, building foundations for people on the runway to launching a business, and supporting coaches who are pivoting to leverage their skills in new ways. She is also CEO of Lucent Global coaching consultancy, which supports leaders and companies through significant periods of transition.She also has her own podcast, The Business of Executive Coaching Podcast, where she is just as inspiring a host as she is a guest in this episode.In this episode, Ellie and Ruth also talk about:· A brilliant strategy to solve the problem of building business development into your schedule· How to meet your clients where they're at on their particular developmental journey· What happens when non-directive coaching comes into conflict with a knowledge gap· How many coaching programmes selling quick pathways to success prey on people's fearsEllie also shares one crucial tip for anyone coach who is struggling to bring in business at the moment, offering a tried and tested way to make progress during lean times.Things and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):- Tony Grant https://www.sydney.edu.au/science/news-and-events/news/2020/02/07/vale-professor-anthony-grant.html- Dr. Suzy Green https://instituteofcoaching.org/suzy-green- Masters course in Coaching Psychology at the University of Sydney https://www.sydney.edu.au/handbooks/science-pg/coursework/psychology-coaching.html#:~:text=The%20Master%20of%20Science%20in,working%20with%20non%2Dclinical%20populations.- The Positivity Institute https://thepositivityinstitute.com.au/- The Positivity Prescription https://thepositivityinstitute.com.au/product/the-positivity-prescription/- Dr. Susanne Cook-Greuter https://instituteofcoaching.org/author/cook-greuter-susanne- Robert Kegan's theory of adult development https://aliveandthriving.substack.com/p/kegans-theory-of-development-framework- Bill Torbert's development theory https://developingleadership.net/bill-torbert- The GROW model https://www.performanceconsultants.com/resources/the-grow-model- The House of Change model https://www.thevirtualtrainingteam.com/articles/change-management-models-the-change-house/- Dr. Louise Kovacs https://au.linkedin.com/in/louise-kovacs-9ba55a- Myers Briggs overview https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/myers-briggs-overview/- Dr. Saba Hasanie https://www.linkedin.com/in/saba-hasanie-dprof-mcc-icf-1747572?originalSubdomain=sg- The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-big-leap-gay-hendricks?variant=32205677625378- Lucent Global https://www.lucentorg.com/about- Corporate to Coach Accelerator https://www.elliescarf.com/cca- The Coaching Business Flywheel https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheel- Ellie's podcast episode on metrics for coaches https://www.elliescarf.com/podcasts/the-business-of-executive-coaching/episodes/2148566834- Tim Ferriss' billboard question https://medium.com/@podclips/the-top-25-answers-to-tim-ferriss-famous-billboard-question-3f19fba1a49c- The upper limit problem https://melodywilding.com/are-you-unconsciously-afraid-of-being-happy-why-we-self-sabotage-with-the-upper-limit-problem/

In this vulnerable and refreshingly honest episode, I'm sharing something that might surprise some of you: I've started working a 9-5 corporate job! After five years of running my online business, I've made a significant life change that I'm actually incredibly excited about.I dive deep into my journey as an online entrepreneur - from the highs of location freedom and six-figure years to the challenging reality of feeling disconnected from my work despite outward success. I explore that uncomfortable space of "being unhappy in a business that everyone else is impressed with" and how I tried everything to fall in love with my business again.During our trip to Italy earlier this year, sitting in our dream Airbnb with a hot tub on the balcony overlooking Puglia, I had the stark realization: "What am I doing with my life?" Despite achieving the freedom lifestyle I thought I wanted, something fundamental was missing.I share the exact moment when I finally stopped ignoring my intuition and decided to explore a new path. You'll hear about my job search process (with zero corporate experience!), how I found a sales role that perfectly matches my skills, and how I'm navigating this major transition.For those wondering - no, I'm not shutting down my business! I'm currently balancing both, working about 10-15 hours per week on client projects alongside my full-time job. This episode is for anyone questioning if they're on the right path, feeling stuck in their zone of excellence instead of their zone of genius, or curious about transitioning from full-time entrepreneurship to corporate life.Remember to tune into your intuition - sometimes the right path doesn't make sense on paper, but feels completely right when you follow it.Resources from this episode:Book recommendation: "The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks (exploring the concept of zone of genius vs. zone of excellence)Connect with Sam:Website: https://www.systemswithsam.com/services Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/systemswithsam/ ​​LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samwhiz/

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   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Read some of my all-time favorite books by Gay and Katie Hendricks, including The Big Leap and Conscious Loving, and learn about the Hendricks Institute.

Bella Howard, a talented Grade 10 learner from Kloof High School in Durban, is on the cusp of achieving her ultimate dream: representing South Africa in touch rugby. She's been selected to join the South African Touch Boks team for the Youth Atlantic Touch Cup in Ireland in July. This remarkable young athlete's journey in touch rugby began four years ago, and her standout performance at the Inter-Provincial Tournament in Cape Town last year earned her a place on the national team. Bella's dedication and hard work have paid off, and she's already attended a national training camp as she prepares to compete against the best in the world. Her sporting achievements extend far beyond touch rugby. She represented KwaZulu-Natal in soccer, playing for the U13A and U14 teams, and became the youngest student to earn a spot on her high school's 1st netball team. Through the South African Netball Coaching Academy, her netball skills have taken her abroad, with tours to Italy and the UK. In 2024, she captained the U15A KZN touch rugby team to a second-place finish in Cape Town. Off the field, she continues to shine, achieving a 95% average in Grade 9 and 100% scores in Maths and Life Sciences in Grade 10. However, Bella now needs support to make her dream a reality. She is looking for sponsorship from corporate organisations, businesses, and individuals to help with the financial requirements of the tour. Every donation, big or small, would mean the world to her. Bella's mother, Ghita, expressed their pride in her accomplishments, saying, "There are no words that can describe how proud we are of Bella and all that she has accomplished, especially at such a young age. "Bella never ceases to amaze us, whether it's playing sports, cracking 100% in her exams, performing magic tricks or creating beautiful pieces of art... her talent is endless. "What we are most proud of is what a kind, gentle and empathetic young lady Bella is. She is always willing to help; she always gives 200% and we are honoured to be her parents."

Overcome Time Stress with Einstein Time, Inspired by Gay Hendricks' The Big Leap⚠️ Important: Do not listen to this hypnotic meditation while driving or doing anything that requires your full attention.

Does this sound familiar?"I don't have time for that right now.""I wish I could, but I don't have time.""If only I had more time.""There aren't enough hours in the day.""Where did the time go?""I'm running out of time.""I've got to hurry—I'm late again.""Time just slips away from me.""I'm always rushing around.""If I could just find a spare minute.""Time's against me today.""I'm racing against the clock.""Everything takes longer than it should.""I'll squeeze it in if I can find the time."Imagine This: How amazing would it feel to stop battling the clock and start flowing with it, knowing you've got all the time you need for what matters most?I've caught myself playing the “time cop,” stressing over every minute, or the “time slacker,” letting hours slip away, and it always leaves me feeling like time's running me instead of the other way around. This session, inspired by Gay Hendricks' idea of “Einstein time,” is about breaking free from that trap and taking charge. Here's what we'll impress our subconscious dreaming mind with today:Time Ownership: Imagine yourself as the creator of time, calm and in control, with plenty to get everything done without the rush.Abundance Over Scarcity: We'll let go of that stressed-out, “not enough time” vibe and plant a sense of plenty, opening up space for creativity and ease.Empowered Living: Walk away feeling lighter, ready to live with more productivity and fulfillment, knowing you've got the power to shape your days.This isn't just a relaxation break, it's a chance to flip how you see time, shedding those limiting roles and stepping into a place where you're the source of it, with all the abundance you need.Please join me this Wellness Wednesday for the next group session on Zoom: ⁠⁠https://adriannehart.gumroad.com/l/ekiga Check out more at https://www.adriannehart.com/ Subscribe for more hypnosis sessions to live with ease, and share how you're making peace with time in the comments!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to overcome self-sabotage and truly live in your 'Zone of Genius'? In this enlightening episode, I sit down with the legendary Gay Hendricks, bestselling author of The Big Leap and Your Big Leap Year, who has served for more than 30 years as one of the major contributors to the fields of relationship transformation and body-mind therapies.Gay shares profound insights on the "upper limit problem" – how we unconsciously create problems when things are going too well because we've hit our internal thermostat for success, love, or abundance. Through personal stories and client experiences, he illuminates how these patterns manifest and offers practical wisdom for breaking through them.If you've ever felt like you're holding yourself back or playing small despite your capabilities, Gay's warm, authentic approach offers transformative guidance for embracing your full potential and living in your unique genius.What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Are you unknowingly holding yourself BACK from earning MORE? There are 7 limiting beliefs that women business owners often tell themselves – beliefs that keep them undercharging, overworking, and second-guessing their success. In this episode, we are addressing those limiting beliefs head-on and talking about how to shift your thinking in order to leave more room for growth. And these aren't just “mindset tips”, they are backed by research, real-life success stories, and proven strategies that have helped women business owners increase their revenue. If you've ever thought…  “Making that amount of money is for other people, not ME.”“If I want more money, I'll need to work twice as hard.”“If I start making more, the people in my life will think of me differently.”  … then this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in this Episode:  -> Why your mindset around money directly impacts your revenue (and what the science and research shows!) -> The hidden beliefs keeping women from charging what they are actually worth. -> How tweaking your thoughts around money can change everything for you and your business. -> Why making more money does NOT mean working harder or longer hours. -> The #1 shift that helps you become the financially confident version of yourself. -> Why you need to stop prioritising others' judgements before your ability to grow and succeed. -> And, you'll get a special invitation to our upcoming Profitable Business Workshop for Women Business Owners on Wednesday, 19 March.

Thoughts create our reality- but our beliefs shape everything. Our attachment to those thoughts, especially the ones about US and our identity matters most. As we do the work of non-attachment, recognize beliefs we hold, and shift them- we feel success on the inside and manifest it on the outside. In today's episode you'll hear: Why our beliefs matter so much, and how to tap into the subconscious ones (so much more than the regular “thought work”).What is blocking us from the success we want (and how to shift it).The Big Leap's Upper Limit Problem (and it's connection to shame work). Doing the inner work, “success is an inside job”.I would love to support you 1:1 over the next 12 months, deep-diving into everything I talked about today: www.coachcrystal.ca/miracle---Links to Crystal's work, to help on your own inner journey: Intuitive Journaling Prompts HERE and a somatic meditation (Move through frustration in 15 minutes or less) HERE, The Art of Non-Attachment Workshop HEREGet started on this work with daily practice in a journal, Burn This Book (a great intro to mental and emotional wellness) HEREWork with Crystal 1:1: www.coachcrystal.ca/miracle or in group: www.coachcrystal.ca/creationroomGrab your copy of Crystal's feelings wheel here: www.coachcrystal.ca/wheel

This week, we welcome back Ed Walters, Chief Strategy Officer at vLex, to discuss the latest advancements in legal AI. The conversation covers the evolving role of AI in legal research, the integration of multimodal AI capabilities, and the ethical considerations surrounding the technology. With the rapid pace of innovation in AI-powered tools, Walters provides insights into how vLex is adapting and pushing the boundaries of legal technology. His perspective underscores the importance of structured legal data, security measures, and law firms leveraging their proprietary data for competitive advantage.One of the key topics discussed is the impact of reasoning models in AI-powered legal research. Walters notes how tools such as OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic's latest models are transforming legal workflows by enabling more sophisticated research capabilities. These tools allow for more human-like interactions with AI, increasing efficiency in knowledge work by reducing non-billable research time. Walters emphasizes that while these advancements are impressive, legal professionals should always verify AI-generated content, ensuring that human judgment remains the final step in legal analysis.A particularly exciting development discussed in the interview is vLex's recent integration of multimodal AI capabilities, enabling the analysis of audio and video files. Walters explains how this feature allows lawyers to transcribe and analyze depositions, oral arguments, and client intake interviews securely within Vincent AI's SOC 2 Type 2 compliant environment. This breakthrough provides legal professionals with enhanced efficiency in document review and litigation preparation, reinforcing vLex's commitment to transparency and usability. The discussion highlights how these features bridge the gap between traditional and AI-powered legal workflows, streamlining processes while maintaining high-security standards.The conversation also explores vLex's integration of docket alarms into litigation workflows, allowing legal professionals to generate comprehensive profiles of opposing counsel and judges. This tool enables lawyers to analyze patterns in case filings, settlement tendencies, and motion success rates. Walters emphasizes that the ability to synthesize vast amounts of structured litigation data provides firms with a strategic advantage. However, he also acknowledges the ethical implications, stressing the need for transparency in AI-generated insights to maintain the integrity of legal practice.Finally, Walters shares his thoughts on the future of legal AI, predicting a shift toward the integration of law firms' proprietary data with public datasets. He highlights vLex's new initiative, Vincent Studio, which allows firms to create bespoke AI-driven workflows tailored to their specific needs. This, he argues, is the next frontier in legal tech, where law firms transition from passive AI adoption to active AI-driven innovation. As the industry continues to evolve, Walters reinforces the idea that while AI enhances legal practice, human expertise and oversight remain irreplaceable. His insights provide a compelling vision of how legal professionals can leverage AI to augment, rather than replace, their legal expertise.Vincent Studio Request: beta@vlex.comListen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Blue Sky: ⁠⁠@geeklawblog.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marlgeb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Transcript

One of the unfortunate truths about our society is that we're more divided, vitriolic and operating from fear than ever before.  When we look at how people interact, there's no civility and mutual respect anymore. There's this huge collective tantrum and so much anger in people and it's completely polarized the culture.  This is especially highlighted in the political sphere. From local government to the national stage, there's more division, more contempt than collaboration, and that was never the original intent.  At its very basic level, government is about creating harmony and equity in society, but that's not happening anymore. How did we get here? How do we find peace in the midst of such vitriolic polarity?  In episode, former mayor of Ojai, California, Betsy Stix joins us to talk about leading in these contempt-filled times, and how she maintained equanimity in inflamed situations.  Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -A powerful impetus  How did The Big Leap lead Betsy Stix into local government? -The source of our separation  The amount of conflict and polarity we're seeing in our world feels unprecedented. How did we get here?  -React, disengage or rise above In these times of high conflict, it's really easy to get hijacked by fear. How do we redirect towards love?  -Back to breath How do we use our breath to create safety for ourselves when there's chaos all around us? Guest Bio Betsy is a lifelong teacher of human development, yoga, English, and French and former mayor of Ojai, California. After teaching for decades, she decided to run for mayor in 2020 during COVID, after reading Gay Hendricks' “The Big Leap” and learning that the city council was slow to enact environmental and social justice policy.  She canvased the town of 7,500 people in a mask and won 64% of the vote!  And she won again in 2022 when she ran against actor Anson Williams. During her tenure, the Ojai City Council passed rent stabilization/tenant protection, a greenhouse gas emission reduction code, approved truly low income housing while developing better solutions for the unhoused, passed animal protection ordinances celebrated by PETA, improved the city's plastic and tree ordinances, flew the Pride Flag for the first time, and founded the Mayor's Youth Council. She is proud to have run two 100% positive campaigns and championed emotional and spiritual intelligence while moving the ball forward for progressive issues.  She was so grateful to have been able to depend upon her yoga practices and experience teaching children and young people as well as the teachings of Katie Hendricks and Marianne Williamson to support her during her time in office.  She looks forward to continuing to serve her community and the planet.

What if the biggest obstacle in your life was… you? Bestselling author and personal development pioneer Gay Hendricks joins us to talk about The Big Leap, his game-changing book that introduced the world to the Upper Limit Problem — that sneaky, self-imposed ceiling on success and happiness. From overcoming hidden fears to expanding into what he calls your Zone of Genius, Gay breaks down the patterns that hold us back and how to break through them.We also reflect on our mutual friend Jim Selman, a luminary in transformational leadership, and how his legacy continues to inspire. With 35 books (and counting!) co-authored with his wife, Katie Hendricks, from their Ojai-based Hendricks Institute, Gay has spent a lifetime helping people push past self-sabotage and step into their fullest potential. Tune in for an insightful, uplifting, and occasionally mind-bending conversation that just might inspire your next big leap.Jim and I also talked about his childhood with a single mom in northern Florida in the 1950s, and how she overcame significant obstacles to become a well-respected journalist and mayor of their hometown. We also talked about his academic career and much more. We did not, however, talk about Ernest Shackleton's expeditions, the development of dimpling on golf balls or Robert Caro's magisterial account of Robert Moses, in "The Power Broker."You can learn more about Gay Hendricks and his and wife Katie's work at the Hendricks Institute: https://hendricks.com/

Late last night, the House Budget Committee approved GOP leadership's voluminous one-bill budget plan — a giant step toward fulfilling President Donald Trump's policy agenda, but one that sets them up for collision with the Senate GOP's two-bill approach. But launching it out of committee may have been the easy part. Where do things go from here? POLITICO Capitol bureau chief and “Corridors” columnist Rachael Bade joins Playbook deputy editor Zack Stanton to walk through it all. Plus, the Trump administration axes thousands of government employees, and the Justice Department sees major resignations after ordering prosecutors to drop bribery charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Send us a textToday I'm wrapping up our two-part series on receiving. Inspired by my own journey and the experiences of the moms I work with, I take you through a personal story of navigating the world of financial support for my son, Levi.I share how, after years of advocacy, we finally received the help we needed—only to find myself struggling with an unexpected wave of guilt and disbelief when even more support came our way. I dive into the concept of our "inner thermostat" for receiving, as explained in The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, and how our subconscious beliefs can keep us stuck in feeling undersupported.We also take a closer look at common thought patterns that may be holding you back from accepting help, like feeling obligated to reciprocate or believing it's too much effort to ask. Plus, I offer a few mindset shifts that can help you break free and receive the support you deserve.If you've ever felt conflicted about getting the help you need, this episode is for you.Give yourself the gift of COZY:https://cozyearth.com/Up to 40% off promo code: SNMPODCASTConnect with Kara, host of The Special Needs Mom Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespecialneedsmompodcast/Website: https://www.kararyska.com/Join the Community:Pathway to Peace Coaching Community is currently open for enrollment.

Are we mass, energy or space? That's the question many have pondered time and time again. The answer: we're all 3 at the same time.  We are not just bodies of mass, though we feel the weight of our flesh, the solidity of our bones. Beneath this, there is a huge symphonic panorama inside of us, and when we tap into it, we can experience true healing and freedom. Often we focus on the mass aspect of existence, but the energetic aspect has a lot more power.  The ever-shifting flow of energy that rises and falls within us expresses itself as emotion, movement, and sensation. The rush of excitement, the pang of sorrow, the heaviness of grief—these are all movements of energy that can shape our physical experience. Beyond the mass of our bodies and the energy within, there is space. When we tap into that space, we find a sense of peace, a realization that we are not just our thoughts or emotions, but something much greater. How do we access space and energy? How do we stop identifying with the fluctuations of energy and start identifying with the space that holds it?  In this episode, we're joined by Gay Hendricks to talk about the power of mass, energy, and space, and how to stop living from the surface, but from the deeper, expansive place within us.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  - Getting unstuck from your body traumas  The mass that is our body is a repository of personal and generational grief and trauma. How does energy and space heal all of these things?     - From repression to release We all possess within us an energy that flows freely. What are some of the things that compress this energy or misuse it?   - Learn to be with fear One way humans do away with fear is trying to control everything. Why is letting go of control a necessary step to tapping into the expansive space with us? Guest Bio Gay Hendricks has served for more than 30 years as one of the major contributors to the fields of relationship transformation and bodymind therapies.

Let's Make Sense of the Big Leap by Gay Hendricks. Come read a book a week with me. This is a new format by Dr. JC Doornick "The Dragon" where we take one book a week from the vault, and give you a sub 30 minute synopisis witb its primary lessons and major takeaways.  In The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, its basic premise uncovers how individuals can navigate and break through their internal barriers to achieve greater levels of success, love, and fulfillment. He introduces concepts of the “Upper Limit Problem”, which is a self-imposed limit that holds people back from living from their "Zone of Genius" or state of maximum creativity and fulfillment. The key distinction there is the reference to the self imposed nature of the upper limit problem. Hendricks argues that by identifying and overcoming these limits, anyone can make the "big leap" to lasting happiness and success. So there it is, its title “The Big Leap” refers to that breakthrough and shift from ordinary to extraordinary. On a personal note, i like his methodology and strategy as it lends well to that of my own IRS (Interface Response System) which is a four step process that begins with identifying our self imposed limitations by way of how our brain has been persuaded and programmed by our MFTPSE (Mother, Father, Teacher, Preacher, Society and Evolution) - I reference the Big Leap in my upcoming book “Makes Sense” in the same way i reference the science of the Flow State and created the IRS after identifying a few missing pieces in these models that would still get people hung up.    Important: I encourage you all to read these books or listen to them on Audible. My hope is that these short form synopsis's will awaken you to some great books to put on your list.   Contact Gay Hendrick: https://wwwwww.hendricks.com The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks: https://amzn.to/3PDvc7r   Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast: This podcast covers topics that expand human consciousness and performance.

60 million Americans are affected by mental health issues. One in five will experience mental health issues within a given year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. The good news is: you don't have to stay stuck, sad, lonely, frustrated. You don't have to feel useless or lost. The pain of that will pass - and it may pass quicker than you think. I've known Dr. Joan Rosenberg for 15 years. When I am in a rut, or I feel stagnant or stuck, I talk to her. She is a bestselling author and a captivating public speaker, an all around amazing person who is excellent at what she does. Joan offers an essential tool and 4 step framework I think will be beneficial for your entrepreneurial mental health toolkit. The 90-Second Rule: Bodily sensations associated with difficult feelings are often what we try to avoid. But, we can lean into them, accept that it will pass in 90 seconds or less, and then we experience them more fully and move through them.Express Authentic Emotions. Both Dr. Rosenberg and Gay Hendricks stress that suppressing or "transmuting" emotions, such as masking sadness or disappointment with anger, can be detrimental. Gay shares that one of his clients experienced a huge breakthrough when he was able to acknowledge the source of his anger. It takes strength to ask for help and acknowledge limitations. Success is rarely achieved alone.  Even the military prioritizes assessing needs and limitations and calling for support when necessary. Embrace vulnerability and build the support systems necessary to go the distance! Not only is Joan a brilliant psychologist, she's a bestselling author, and a captivating public speaker. Her experience and expertise make her Mental Health Framework essential for any entrepreneur. Listen to Big Leap with Gay Hendricks and Joan Rosenberg, PhD.

Tune in for expert tips on building a solid foundation, streamlining your systems, and other ways to set yourself up for success in the new year. *** In this episode, Darla is joined by Katie McDonald to discuss the importance of self-care for business owners. Katie shares her personal journey from corporate burnout to wellness advocate and coach. The conversation delves into how self-neglect can impact both personal wellbeing and business success. Darla and Katie also explore actionable self-care strategies and the challenges high achievers face in balancing their drive with the need for self-compassion. Decades ago, the demands of Katie McDonald's corporate career occupied her every waking moment. She was left feeling depleted and depressed—suffering from spiraling mental and physical health crises that threatened her life. Left with no choice but to transform her body-mind relationship, Katie abandoned her corporate job and healed herself. Fully recovered from years of self-neglect, Katie now works with high achievers who are taking care of business at the expense of taking care of themselves. ***
