Trying harder isn’t always better. Sometimes, pushing through discipline leads to exhaustion, stress, and even burnout. What if the real key to consistency isn’t force, but steadiness?

Welcome to The RISE Experience, a podcast for women who are rebuilding trust with themselves — in health, leadership, faith, and everyday life. This is a space to slow down when everything feels loud, to lead from steadiness instead of urgency, and to listen again. Here, identity, faith, the body, and quiet inner wisdom matter. A place to pause, reflect, and rise from clarity instead of pressure.

Episode Highlights

In this episode, the discussion explores the difference between discipline and regulation in personal growth. Discipline, often seen as control, can backfire when it causes stress and pressure. Regulation emphasizes the body’s ability to sustain demands, helping consistency emerge naturally. Listeners are encouraged to focus on steadiness, safety, and supportive routines rather than forcing self-discipline.
