In this episode, I talk about something that confuses a lot of people in training. And this also applies for life in general. Not just in sports.

Knowing when to respect your limits and when you’re actually hiding behind them.

Starting where you are doesn’t mean staying there.

But it also doesn’t mean ignoring your body, copying what you see online, or pushing every time something feels uncomfortable.

We talk about:

• the difference between recovery and excuses

• when discipline means resting — and when it means pushing

• how social media distorts training expectations

• why copying without context leads to injury, not progress

• comparison, pressure, and wanting to prove yourself

• learning to choose the right kind of discipline for the situation you’re in

I don’t think comparison is always wrong. I think the real question is why you’re comparing…not who you’re looking at.

If you want to get better at something, it’s actually pretty natural to look at people who are further along than you.

People who are stronger. More experienced. Maybe more consistent.

People on the same level as you, or below you- can feel comfortable.And comfort isn’t a bad thing. It just doesn’t create growth.

Looking up gives you direction. It shows you what’s possible.

Looking sideways often gives you validation. Looking down gives you reassurance.

And reassurance can feel good. But it doesn’t move you forward.

This episode is about how I got here.

It’s about discipline without self-destruction and consistency and patience.

I share how my relationship with movement changed over time — through setbacks and injury, rebuilding, and learning to show up in a way that was sustainable and supportive.

Not a template. Just proof that consistency, when done with awareness and care, can change a lot.

It’s not about perfection, it’s about having sustainable routines.

Consistency doesn’t have to feel strict, overwhelming, or exhausting.

In this episode, I share what a normal weekday looks like for me and how simple structure and preparation made consistency feel lighter and more sustainable.

This isn’t the only or the perfect way and the perfect routine — just an honest example meant to show how reducing distraction can make showing up feel possible in real life.

This episode is about the quiet work.

The work behind.

The discipline no one claps for — but that actually changes everything.

I talk about being a normal person with a full-time job, side work, training goals, and real-life constraints. About how consistency beats motivation every time.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the small things, the right things — over and over — until they compound.
