This week, I take you through one of the hardest yet most rewarding experiences of my life: a 7-day fast. No food, no caffeine, and no distractions. In this episode, I break down why I felt called to do it, the process I followed, and the profound insights it gave me about presence, mindset, and discipline. I share my five biggest takeaways, along with tips for anyone curious about exploring a fast or tackling a challenge that pushes their limits. Trust me—this experience was a game-changer.

• Presence Amplifies Life: Removing distractions made me hyper-focused and grounded.
• Focus on the Process, Not the Finish Line: Staying present helped me silence doubt and stay motivated.
• Distractions Are Energy Drainers: I uncovered how much I relied on distractions to avoid being present.
• Gratitude Regulates Emotions: Practicing gratitude helped me navigate emotional ups and downs.
• Commitment Eliminates Doubt: Fully committing to the fast removed any room for negotiation.

Here’s the sermon that inspired me!
