Ever wonder if you’re being lazy… or if your body’s genuinely asking for a break? 🧠💪
In this episode, I break down the difference between discipline vs. awareness — and why mastering both is the key to long-term success, whether you’re in prep, building a business, or just trying to protect your peace. 🦋
We’ll talk hustle culture, burnout, and the signs your body, mind, and soul are giving you when it’s time to push 🚀 or pause 🛑.
Because discipline builds results… but awareness protects longevity. 💗⚡
