If you are disciplined, driven, and proud of your consistency, this episode might hit closer than you expect. Rick Jordan shares a personal moment that forced him to confront a hard truth. Pushing through pain and ignoring signals does not always make you stronger. Sometimes it just makes the recovery longer.

This conversation is about learning when consistency means showing up, and when consistency means stepping back. It is about presence, intention, and respecting the rhythms that actually sustain performance over time.
