#145 Running on Empty

You ever had one of those days where it feels like you’ve hit rock bottom? Maybe it’s halfway through a long show day, or maybe it’s after yet another ride where things just didn’t click. You’re sitting there thinking, “That’s it. I’m done. I’ve got nothing left in the tank.”

Well, let me tell you something I wish someone had told me sooner: you’ve got more in the tank than you think. Just like your truck’s fuel gauge might say “E,” but there’s still that hidden reserve waiting to get you to the next gas station, your mind has reserves of confidence, focus, and resilience. In today’s episode, I share 5 ways to find and use them when you need them most.

Let’s get real about why we hit those mental walls and, more importantly, how to break through them.
