In this episode, we explore how willpower, self-control, and self-discipline can help you stay grounded during life’s toughest moments. Building on Freud’s iceberg model, I break down how these tools shape our decisions and how awareness can prevent emotional chaos. Plus, I share an eye-opening study on cultural differences in how we view willpower.

If you're looking for ways to strengthen your mental resilience and stay focused on your goals, this episode is for you!

The end of 2024 hit me hard, leaving me in a dark mental space with a storm of emotions —many of which contradicted each other. Stuck, confused, and searching for clarity, I turned to Freud’s Iceberg Model—exploring the Superego, Ego, and Id—to make sense of it all. In this episode, I share the perspectives that helped me unpack my conflicting feelings and begin the journey back to myself.

In this episode, we explore the self-imposed “false rules” that keep us from taking chances and growing. From limiting beliefs about our abilities to fear of failure, these invisible barriers hold us back in big ways. I’ll share how recognizing and breaking free from these rules—along with giving ourselves the grace of a second chance—can unlock new possibilities for growth. Ready to challenge your own false rules?
