Have you ever hit a moment where joy and heartbreak showed up at the exact same time — and you weren’t sure if it was self-sabotage, an upper limit, or simply life unfolding?
In this episode of Empowering Her, I open up about the day my husband and I finally got our dream New York City apartment — a manifestation twenty years in the making — and just minutes later, learned of a family loss. It made me stop and ask one big question: Was this the universe testing me, or was it just life reminding me that I can hold it all?
Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s conversation:
- What the Upper Limit Problem really means, inspired by The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
- How to recognize when you’re blocking your own expansion through fear or doubt
- The difference between an upper limit and life simply happening
- Why creating unnecessary meaning around hard moments keeps you stuck
- How to grow your capacity to hold both joy and grief at the same time
- Simple mindset shifts to help you move beyond self-sabotage and stay open to abundance
If you’re navigating your own season of growth — one where things feel both incredible and uncertain — this episode will remind you that it’s safe to expand, to receive, and to feel all of it.
