I sat down with author, speaker, and lawyer Justin Whitmel Earley and walked away reminded that discipline isn’t just about doing more—it’s about becoming more grounded.
He shared how relentless ambition and life as a driven attorney led to panic attacks and burnout, and how he rebuilt through faith and daily spiritual rhythms. The smallest, most intentional habits shape my mind, my peace, and my purpose.
Faith isn’t just what I claim—it’s what I practice every day.
