About this listen

 In this episode, I want you to imagine this… You're standing at the base of a mountain on a clear day. You can see the trail. You can see the summit. That summit represents the next level of your life—the golfer you know you're capable of being, the business owner with more freedom, peace, and confidence. You know where you're going. You know what to do. And yet, every step feels heavier than it should. Not because you lack discipline.Not because you lack talent.Not because you don't want it badly enough. It feels hard because you're trying to summit your mountain while carrying a backpack full of invisible weight—unexamined beliefs, unresolved emotions, fear, pressure, and destructive mindset programs that quietly sabotage your progress. In this episode, I break down the mountain metaphor to show you why most high performers get stuck two steps forward, three steps back—and why the problem was never the mountain, the plan, or the strategy. We'll unpack emotional fog, destructive mindset programs, perfectionism, fear of success, and why self-sabotage often disguises itself as logic. Most importantly, I'll show you what it actually means to do the work required to clear the fog, lighten the load, and finally reach the summit you already know you're capable of climbing. In this episode, you'll learn: Why knowing what to do isn't enough to create lasting changeHow emotional fog robs you of clarity, confidence, and self-trustWhat destructive mindset programs are and how they keep you stuckWhy self-sabotage often feels logical, responsible, or justifiedWhere most high performers stop short on their climb to successHow perfectionism and fear of success quietly drain your energyWhat it actually means to "do the work" to reach your next level Get your pencils ready and start listening.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Key Takeaways: You're not failing because of a lack of discipline, talent, or information.Emotional fog makes even a clear path feel confusing and exhausting.The weight you carry matters more than the mountain you're climbing.Destructive mindset programs are patterned, predictable, and unconscious.Self-sabotage often appears as logic, timing issues, or "being realistic."Different results require thinking, feeling, doing, and being different.Clearing emotional baggage is the fastest way to sustainable success. Key Quotes: "You're not stuck because you don't know what to do—you're stuck because of the weight you're carrying.""The problem was never the mountain; it was the backpack.""Self-sabotage disguises itself as logic when your nervous system wants relief.""Emotion is energy in motion, and unprocessed emotion creates fog.""Your subconscious doesn't care if an emotion hurts—it cares if it's familiar.""If you want to achieve different, you must be willing to feel different.""Sustainable success begins when you stop dragging old patterns uphill."
