Discipline has a reputation problem and in this episode, we’re redefining it.
In this first episode of 2026, Tricia shares why discipline is her word of the year and why discipline has nothing to do with punishment, hustle, or being harder on yourself. Instead, this conversation reframes discipline as self-trust, direction, and the quiet choices that shape your life over time.
You’ll learn:
Why discipline isn’t about control, but clarity
How to identify what you’re optimizing for in this season of life
"The difference between small actions that accumulate vs actions that evaporate"
How self-sabotage can disguise itself as “staying busy”
Why growth often requires unlearning, not adding more
How your environment impacts discipline more than willpower
Simple ways to make discipline feel supportive, sustainable, and even enjoyable
This episode blends personal insight, real-life examples, and science-backed perspective to help you build discipline without burnout and create momentum that actually lasts.
If you’re navigating a transition, rebuilding after a hard season, or learning how to trust yourself again, this episode will give you a grounded, honest reframe of discipline that can change everything.
