It’s keeping you stuck in routines you’ve outgrown, patterns that no longer serve you, and a version of yourself that was never meant to be your final destination. In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth nobody wants to say out loud, the life you want, the purpose you feel, the calling that keeps tugging at you… none of it lives inside your comfort zone. It lives on the other side of risk, courage, honesty, and action. We’re talking about why staying the same is silently destroying your dreams, how fear disguises itself as “familiar,” and what it actually takes to step into the life you were created to live. Not tomorrow. Not someday. Today. If you’re tired of feeling stuck… if you’re ready to stop settling… if you know there’s more in you but you’ve been afraid to chase it, this is your moment. Press play and step out of the box that’s been boxing you in. RehabTime… let’s get it.

0:43.3	I never want to be a speaker.
0:44.6	I never want to start rehab time.
0:46.2	I never want to be an author, anything like that.
0:49.3	If you ask my dad, it's so funny, if you ask my dad, he would tell you out of his three sons
0:54.0	that I would be the
0:55.0	least, the least to be a speaker because I've been and still am such an introverted person.
1:01.4	So people ask like, how are you so introverted but you're so extroverted at the same time?
1:05.8	So let me break this down to you real quick. My whole entire life, right, since I was four years
1:10.8	old, it was for me to be a
1:12.7	football player. That was it. Or for me to just play sports, baseball, basketball, track. And I had two
1:18.7	older brothers, so I, like, I had no choice because I wanted to follow on their footsteps. And
1:22.3	you might be thinking, well, how does this relate to me? Just think about something that has been your identity,
