Summary
It seems strange, but it's real - we have an upper limit with many aspects of our lives, and HAPPINESS is one as well. It can feel a little TOO good to be super happy, and so a few things can happen as a result of the happier times in our lives. In this short but powerful episode, I explain some stories from my own life that will help you recognize when/how you're subconsciously pumping the brakes on your own happiness. Best book rec for this is "THE BIG LEAP" by Gay Hendricks.

| 0:21.5 | You're in the right place if you're ready to step into the bigger life that you were destined for, because we're |
| 0:26.2 | about to get real on how to do so. So let's get started with today's big conversation. |
| 0:34.3 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to big conversations. This one was just on my heart to record. I'm |
| 0:40.9 | uncharacteristically recording this ahead of schedule by far. And I only have like 23 minutes to record it, |
| 0:47.2 | but I think that's all we need for a conversation like this because I'm heading into a coaching call, |
| 0:50.8 | but I just felt this like burning on my heart to talk about this. And this one is all |
| 0:55.9 | about the happiness upper limit. So for backgrounds, I am reading the book, The Big Leap. I've read it a few |
| 1:03.2 | times now and I love it every single time. And it's actually the book club book in the dream boy |
| 1:08.0 | community for July. And I know by the time this episode comes out, |
| 1:10.9 | it'll already be past July, but in that spirit, we did a workshop in the higher self tier |
| 1:16.2 | of Dreamaway earlier this week on the happiness upper limit. And I thought that it was going to be |
| 1:21.9 | kind of like, you know, a straightforward walk in the park. Oh yeah, sometimes things feel too |
| 1:26.1 | good. And as a result, we want to |
| 1:29.3 | sabotage it. You know, it's something like very, very straightforward. But the more we started to |
| 1:33.1 | dive into the questions and share experiences, I realized that this is such a nuanced topic |
