What if the story you've been telling yourself is the only thing holding you back?

In this episode of Shifts and Giggles, Rafer shares how he went from hating running to training for a half marathon—and how that unexpected journey revealed a deep truth about mindset. This episode dives into the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, how to recognize which one you're operating from, and why effort always matters more than talent. If you’ve ever said, “I’m just not that kind of person,” this one’s for you.
