    Sacrificing with Purpose and Living by Faith | EP 81 with Dr. Tag and Steph Wilber

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tag and Steph Wilber, founders of Renewed Performance, to explore what it truly means to live a life of purpose—physically, mentally, and spiritually. We go beyond traditional health and performance, diving into the connection between faith, discipline, and long-term fulfillment. From building trust with clients to stepping into uncomfortable environments to serve others, this conversation challenges the way we think about success, health, and calling. This isn’t just about physical therapy or performance—it’s about alignment: mind, body, and spirit. Come into this episode with an open mind. What We Cover: How trust is built in high-level coaching and clinical relationships Why “say what you’ll do and do what you say” changes everythingThe role of faith in decision-making and entrepreneurship Why enjoyment is the key to long-term fitness and consistency The power of variety vs. routine in training and life What it means to put your “yes on the table” Living with purpose vs. chasing comfort How environment shapes identity and growth The difference between happiness and true joy Why high performers still struggle with meaning and fulfillmentKey Takeaways: Clarity creates confidence. Too many options create anxiety. True health isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual and relational. Growth often requires stepping into discomfort and uncertainty. You can’t live in community with people you keep at arm’s length. The most meaningful life is built through service, not comfort.

    In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of the Grateful and Full of Greatness Podcast, Mark Glicini sits down once again with his mentor, Dr. Cristina Versari, for a conversation that goes far beyond performance and success. Dr. Versari shares her personal story in greater depth—growing up with unwavering belief from her mother, surviving a life-altering traumatic event at 18, and how that experience reshaped her worldview, purpose, and mission to help others. Together, Mark and Dr. Versari explore the transformative power of mentors, belief systems, environment, and decision-making, and why success is less about talent and more about clarity, consistency, and conviction.
