Virgo season and that familiar back-to-school energy have many of us craving a fresh routine, better habits and more discipline. But what if your struggle to stay consistent isn’t laziness or a lack of willpower? What if you simply haven’t found a reason strong enough to keep showing up—or learned how to stay devoted when the results stop coming?
In this episode, Angell sits down with her brother, astrobiologist, professor, powerlifter and ultramarathon runner Dr. Ben Pearce, to explore what discipline actually requires. They unpack how to build discipline as a skill, work through the beliefs that derail your progress and know when to stay patient versus change your approach. They also explore the difference between discipline and devotion—and why doing hard things can build extraordinary self-belief, as long as you don’t begin believing that only hard things have value.
