Summary

If you’re like most people, you might think self discipline is the same as willpower. That it is restrictive, non-sponteneous, and boring.

You let momentary discomfort guide your decisions and then blame it on a lack of willpower.

My guest this week knows this isn’t true.

Tune in this week to hear from the master of self discipline herself, Monica Levi, about why you might be lacking self discipline and how to change that. Learn why self discipline is so closely linked to self love, the freedom that having self discipline brings, and how to master this skill yourself.

coaching. Okay. Well, I'm going to try to keep it short because I can geek out on it. But I grew

up in Bulgaria during communism and came to the US at 17 for college. I went to law school in Chicago at

1:08.6

Northwestern and practiced law, big law for a number of years and didn't love it. It wasn't quite
