Episode notes

I pulled together three of my most powerful Quickie episodes because they all speak to one thing I know you’re facing right now. You’re being asked to move before you feel ready, to keep going when the people closest to you don’t get it, and to stand back up when failure makes you question everything. In this Best Of Quickies, I’m reminding you that pain is not a stop sign, judgment is not truth, and failure is not the end. These moments are the initiation. This is where confidence is built, faith is forged, and momentum is created. Get ready to hear exactly what you need to move faster, trust yourself deeper, and stay in the game.
