In this episode, I talk about the importance of mindset and resilience when it comes to achieving personal goals. I dig into the neuroscience of willpower and the psychology of self-efficacy, explaining why belief in yourself is the foundation of performance. I also break down the causes of burnout, from overexertion and depletion to misalignment, and why having a clear vision and purpose can help you push through the hardest moments.
