Episode 3 of the series is live.We're talking about emotional load. The real, practical reason why high performers plateau, burn out, or can't understand why their training isn't landing the way it should.The truth is your body doesn't separate emotional stress from physical stress. When life is heavy, relationship strain, work pressure, family chaos, your stress capacity is already maxed out before you even lace up your shoes.Training through it doesn't make you tougher.
