Hi Reader,

​

Welcome to The Sunday Shift!

​

If you're feeling stuck right now… you’re not alone.

​

Whether you're building a business, navigating a career change, or simply craving more from your life, there’s one thing that sneaks in quietly and does more damage than we realize.

​

You start to hold back with a lurking feeling and quiet inner voice that says…

"What if I’m not good enough?"

"What if I can’t handle more?"

"What if I fail… or worse, succeed and get overwhelmed?"

​

This is your upper limit problem in action, a term from Gay Hendricks’ book The Big Leap. It’s what happens when you bump into the ceiling of how much joy, freedom, or success you’re used to and what you believe you deserve.

​

Instead of breaking through, you sabotage, stall, or shrink.

​

I’ve been there, too. This week, in fact.

​

What I know to get past that upper limit is commitment. How badly do you really want “the thing?” It’s not motivation. It’s commitment. You must commit first, then the next right step will reveal itself.

​

4 Questions That Reveal Your Hidden Limits

• Where are you stopping short of your next level?
• What benefits are you actually afraid of (not just the risks)?
• What would you do if you believed it was safe to grow?
• What are you really afraid of?

​

🎯 1 Focus This Week

Pick the one thing you've been putting off and commit to it. One step at a time. I’m doing it, too. Apply for the job. Hit publish. Make the ask. Whatever it is for you, commit to it.

​

Even a half-step forward breaks the cycle of self-sabotage. You don’t have to leap, just shift.

​

I believe you are the most powerful leader you’ll ever know. One small shift, Reader, will help you believe it, too.

​

To bold moves ahead,

Jenn

P.S. If this hit home, forward it to someone you know is ready for more and needs a nudge.
