They also highlight the power of community and how surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can help you achieve your full potential. The hosts share personal stories and insights and invite listeners to join them at their upcoming meetup in Atlanta, Georgia.
Key Takeaways:
Bravery is not the absence of fear but rather the curiosity and courage to pursue one’s goals despite fear.
Surrounding yourself with a supportive community can provide the motivation and inspiration needed to achieve your goals.
Taking part in events like meetups and races can help you discover your true potential and find clarity in your fitness journey.
Discipline is key to staying on track with your fitness goals, and it involves coming back stronger after setbacks or deviations from the plan.
Finding alternative ways to decompress and cope with emotions, rather than turning to food, can help maintain progress and stay on track with your fitness goals.
