    It’s January—the season of fresh starts, setting those bold goals, and big ambition. But let’s be real: if you’ve tried before and fallen short, the start of a new year might feel a little… overwhelming. You’re ready to tone your arms, feel strong, and commit to those workouts—but something always seems to stand in your way. Here’s the truth: it’s not a lack of willpower, and it’s not the wrong plan. It’s discomfort. In this episode, I get real about why change feels hard—and how you can turn that discomfort into progress on your journey. You’ll learn: Why discomfort is a necessary part of growth—and how to make it work for you instead of against you. The science behind your brain’s "reward cycle" and how it keeps you stuck in old habits. The key difference between the discomfort of staying the same and the discomfort of becoming more—and how to choose growth every time. Simple yet powerful analogies to help you embrace challenges, just like building muscle in the gym. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, unmotivated, or tempted to quit when things get hard, this episode will change the way you see progress forever. When you're done listening, you won’t just feel inspired—you’ll have actionable tools to reframe discomfort and finally stick to your goals. This is your year.
