What I'll be covering on the episode is all about the drama we create in our minds that make us question our abilities, even when we've trained really hard.

Do you ever wonder why some things are just so fucking hard to do? I don't mean physical challenges like running a marathon or lifting super heavy weights. I'm talking things like saying no to food and sticking to your training plan beyond the first week.
