Send us Fan MailKaitlyn Kenna and I start with caffeine withdrawal and end up somewhere much deeper: how discipline, identity, and self respect actually get built when things feel hard. We share what helps us train, recover, and eat with intention without getting trapped by perfectionism or social media noise. • caffeine dependence and what withdrawal feels like day by day • discipline as a skill built through reps and non negotiables • training volume, recovery days, and why sleep is a performance tool • using Whoop and HRV data as feedback without letting it control choices • premortems and practicing worst case scenarios to build confidence • setting realistic expectations for different seasons of life without making excuses • stacking wins by controlling effort and inputs over outcomes • learning discomfort versus injury and protecting long term consistency • CrossFit Games goals, support teams, and coaching accountability • eating disorder recovery, control, and talking back to the restriction voice • nutrition fear mongering, rage bait, and why whole foods and moderation work • purpose, meaning, and identity labels that drive behavior change Tune in next week.
