Summary

Most people avoid the emotions and challenges that would change them. That’s why they stay stuck.

In this episode, I’m sharing the tools to become a badass - someone who creates extraordinary results by building mental toughness and emotional resilience.

This isn’t about positive thinking. It’s about stepping into your power and knowing challenges will come with it.

You’ll learn to build emotional strength by processing, not avoiding feelings. You’ll develop behavioral strength to keep moving forward when you mess up. And you’ll see why impossible goals are the key to redefining your identity.

Stop operating from weakness. Start operating from power.

What You Will Discover:

Why making the decision to be a badass requires telling people and committing publicly.
How to build mental strength through repetition, exposure, and intense work periods.
The three reasons setting impossible goals transforms your identity and results.
Why anticipating worst-case scenarios and planning for them strengthens you before obstacles arrive.
How emotional resilience means embracing fear, doubt, and insecurity rather than avoiding them.
The difference between coddling (which weakens) and self-love (which strengthens).
Why badasses are built on piles of failures, mistakes, and judgments.
