So, apparently all it takes is four emails telling me you liked the solo episode for me to get back on the mic - here we are. Today’s episode is short, slightly chaotic, and all about the difference between suffering and hard work. Big topic, big feelings, but don’t worry, it’s under 13 minutes and I manage to spiral only once or twice. If you’ve ever found yourself pushing through something just because that’s what you were taught to do, this one’s for you. Lets dive right in.Highlights: (00:40) Only took four compliments to get me back(02:05) Suffering vs. hard work - know the difference(04:48) You can literally choose discomfort. Wild, right?(06:32) Your actions are louder than your words(09:10) Maybe you’re living someone else’s values. Oof(12:25) Suffering? Or just good old discipline?
