Episode 53: When things start going well, that should feel exciting, right? But for a lot of us, that’s the exact moment we start slipping. We procrastinate. We pick fights. We stop doing what was working. We start spending. We start overthinking. And then we look up and wonder why we’re back at square one.

In this episode, Dr. Lea breaks down The Upper Limit Problem, the pattern that shows up when your life starts improving, but your mind and habits are still wired for what’s familiar. We’re talking about why success can feel uncomfortable, how fear shows up as “random” behavior, and what to do when you notice yourself pulling back right before a breakthrough.

You’ll leave with clear signs to look for, a simple way to identify your pattern, and homework you can use this week to stay consistent when things start working.

Episode 52: Summary

In this episode, Dr. Lea discusses the importance of momentum over motivation, especially at the start of a new year. She emphasizes that January is not a magical month that transforms lives but rather a time to build momentum through small, consistent actions.

This is a start today message rather than procrastinating another day, week or month.

Episode 50: In this milestone 50th episode of The EducateHer's Sanctuary, Dr. Lea reflects on stepping into your true self as 2026 approaches. She challenges the myth that personal growth requires reinventing yourself. Instead, it's about aligning with the version of you that already exists. Through her personal journey of becoming her own blueprint, Dr. Lea explores why we straddle two identities, how old programming keeps us small, and the real cost of staying stuck. She reveals the spiritual truth that God doesn't call you to become something new. He calls you to step into what you already are. This is a powerful invitation to stop waiting, release old patterns, and claim your identity NOW.

Takeaways

• You don't need to reinvent yourself; just step into your true self.
• Working harder does not guarantee success; alignment is key.
• Straddling two identities hinders your growth.
• Fear often keeps us from stepping into our true potential.
• Desires are a guide to the version of you that already exists.
• Playing small has a cost that affects your future.
