Cade Robertson and I were two athletes who tied our entire identity to being the most disciplined person in the room. This is the honest conversation about what happens when you step away from that: the loss of identity, the disordered eating no one talks about, the shame of tying your self worth to a title, and the slow work of separating who you are from what you achieve. It's about discipline vs obsession, learning to let go, and realising that evolving isn't the same as giving up.
If you've ever felt boxed into one version of yourself - the disciplined one, the achiever, this episode is for you!
In this episode we cover:
Why the best and worst memories of competing are the exact same moment
How healthy discipline quietly tips into obsession and disordered eating
The identity shift after stepping away and why "who am I now?" hits so hard
Why no one actually cares as much as you think (and you don't owe anyone an explanation)
How to channel discipline into something you love instead of something that drains you
Values over titles: building a life you actually want, with zero regrets
