You don't have a motivation problem—you have an alignment problem. If the version of you at work isn't the same one at home, in the gym, and with your friends, you'll keep grinding harder without feeling better. Today's guest shows how to collapse that gap—so progress actually feels like power.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, talks with Marine Corps veteran, performance coach, and keynote speaker Mycal (“Coach Derz”) Anders—founder of Next Level Performance Consulting—whose motto is “Alignment first, progress always.”

Mycal shares how to unify your identities so you lead at work, love at home, and thrive in your body. We cover detaching from life-or-death urgency, upgrading relationship agreements, filling the post-breakthrough “void” with the next easiest step, and why alignment—not motivation—is the real unlock.
