In this episode I am joined by guests Jennifer, Edna and Ria to explore what gets in the way of developing a self disciplined mindset, especially when you are trying to achieve a goal, what self discipline is and the characteristics that are acquired. We also share personal stories about the areas where self-disciplined has been helpful our lives and delve into the relationship between self discipline and self control. And SO much more!
