About

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Discover the power of showing up—every single day.



In this inspiring episode, we dive into Colin O’Brady’s “The Impossible First” and explore how endurance shapes our lives. From crossing Antarctica alone to overcoming daily mental health challenges like ADHD and rejection sensitivity dysphoria, we discuss what it really means to persist when life feels tough. Drawing wisdom from marathon champions and ancient philosophers, you’ll hear practical advice for embracing your personal journey—even when progress seems slow.



Key takeaways:

- Endurance is often more important than solving every problem.

- Showing up daily is a victory in itself.

- Accepting chronic struggles can lead to greater self-compassion.
