380. {Bite-Sized Episode} An Argument For Doing Extreme Things

from To Your Health · host Esther Avant

Yes, I'm actually making a case for doing things that might feel “extreme”, not for the sake of pushing limits endlessly, but because of how those experiences can permanently change what feels hard.I talk about why “extreme” is relative to the person, and how challenges that stretch you can recalibrate your perspective on effort, discomfort, and what you’re capable of.This episode isn’t about being reckless or living at the extremes, it’s about how intentionally doing hard things can build confidence that carries into other areas of your life and makes future challenges feel more manageable.Tune in each week for practical, relatable advice that helps you feel your best and unlock your full potential. If you’re ready to prioritize your health and level up every area of your life, you’ll find the tools, insights, and inspiration right here. Check out Esther’s website for more about her speaking, coaching, book, and more: http://estheravant.com/Buy Esther’s Book: To Your Health: https://a.co/d/iDG68qUEsther’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/esther.avantEsther’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/estheravant/Learn more about 1:1 health & weight loss coaching: https://madebymecoaching.com/coaching
