We've all been told to “push through” in business — to ignore discomfort, suppress emotions, and keep grinding. But what if that constant pushing is actually the reason you're stuck? When we override our own signals in the name of hustle, we disconnect from the very guidance system that can lead us to greater success and fulfillment.

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to become emotionally fit — not by avoiding or burying feelings, but by learning how to recognize, process, and use them as fuel for purposeful action. Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, sits down with leadership trainer and emotional fitness expert Alan Muellegger to discuss how tuning into your emotions, understanding your physical state, and aligning your actions with your purpose can transform your business, your relationships, and your life.
