Listen "I can do hard things!"
Episode Synopsis
Discipline isn’t always loud.
Sometimes, it looks like tying your shoes when you’d rather stay in bed.
Or showing up for yourself when no one’s clapping.
This week, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my half marathon journey — not to talk running splits or medals, but what I’ve learned along the way: about mindset, commitment, and why showing up matters (especially when it doesn’t feel good).
We’ll talk about:
✨ the reality of doing something when it’s no longer fun
✨ the mantras that carried me through
✨ and how setting priorities in one area of life can shift everything else too
Plus, I’m sharing two TikToks that unexpectedly hit deep — and how they might just shift the way you see yourself and your life.
Let’s dive in.
And maybe you’ll find a little something in here that you didn’t know you needed. 💭
