What’s really holding you back from becoming who you’re meant to be?

In this powerful episode of Born to Climb, James Robbins sits down with Dr. James Hollis—renowned Jungian psychoanalyst and bestselling author—to explore the invisible, unconscious patterns that shape our lives and limit our leadership.

Dr. Hollis explains why many of us unknowingly live in “haunted houses,” repeating old stories from childhood that no longer serve us. Together, they unpack what it means to live with purpose, face fear, and finally break free from the past.

🎧 You’ll discover:

• Why we live in metaphorical haunted houses
• How early experiences shape adult choices
• Why fear often disguises itself as wisdom
• How to stop repeating self-defeating loops
• The difference between happiness and meaning
• Why “showing up” is the ultimate act of courage

If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or like you were made for more—this episode is your invitation to reflect, realign, and rise.
