You might just not have named it.In this episode, I break down what dark energy actually is. Not motivation. Not discipline. The part of your ego that refuses to quit and is willing to burn everything to prove a point about who you are.I take you through where mine came from. Being told I was too small, too slow, not fit enough, and answering every one of those. Having my knee shattered by a horse and using that same energy on a physio table to claw back the range of motion I needed to run again. Losing the relationship, the money, the house, part of my identity, and putting everything on black to get back.But this is not a celebration of dark energy. It is a warning about how to leverage it.There is a point in your career when you need it. It is the thing that gets the rocket off the floor, the push that starts the car rolling down the hill. The problem is what happens when you never put it down. When you rely on it to operate day to day, inside your business, your training, your family, the stress physiology required to hold that charge breaks your body, narrows your decision making to point and shoot, and quietly becomes the bottleneck you cannot see.Ego is not the enemy. Ego got me here, and most likely it got you here too. The next step is learning how to wield it, when to call on it, and when to deliberately leave it in the holster.If you know you have been wielding that weapon for too long and you are unsure how to leverage it properly, DM me the word ENERGY. I will send you a personal voice note on how I use it, the tools I run inside my own process, and what I do physically to make sure I do not disappear down the rabbit hole of breaking myself to achieve.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1FLX3-bPuCHEhWuVP1dRw4J_1G9Tof6M6sNK5BZgKj0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85Yzk0/ZjU5ZmM5YmQ3NDZi/NzBmNmE2YmI4ODhl/ZTMxYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
