I'm so honoured to sit down with one of the most influential voices in the world of personal growth and conscious living — Dr. Gay Hendricks.

Gay is a psychologist, teacher, and the bestselling author of The Big Leap — among other groundbreaking books that has transformed the way we understand success, happiness, and self-sabotage. In this conversation, we explore one of Gay's central concepts - that subtle, often invisible ceiling we place on ourselves and the immense possibility of our lives.

At the heart of Gay’s work lies the Zone of Genius — that sacred space where our deepest passion meets our highest contribution. Yet, many of us unconsciously limit our time in that zone, retreating into comfort zones and old patterns that feel familiar, even if they hold us back. We talk about why we do that, and more importantly, how to stop.

Gay shares profound yet practical tools for learning to feel your feelings fully, without escaping, numbing, or analysing them away. He teaches us how to be radically present with ourselves, to expand our capacity for joy, success, and love — not through force, but through awareness.

Whether you're a high achiever, a creative, or someone simply longing to break through to your next level, this episode is an invitation to take your own Big Leap — into a life that’s not just productive, but deeply aligned, awake, and alive.
