About this listen

On today's episode, we share how grinding for output without recovery drains capacity and dulls presence. We reframe strength as resilience, explore “working in” vs “working out,” and show how belief systems shape stress, recovery, and sustainable progress.

• being recognized for perseverance over points
• difference between output and staying power
• working in practices that restore the system
• REST as recovery enables sustainable training
• pacing with flow instead of constant go
• identity and belief shaping stress and recovery costs
• preview of deeper dive into story and identity next time
