What's stopping you from doing what you love? Is it other people's opinions, a feeling of unworthiness, or a real reason? In today's episode, we discuss limiting beliefs and analyze how they impact our existence. Most people have self-imposed limitations, yet only a few become aware of them and how they get in the way of happiness and fulfillment.
