You’ve probably said it—or at least thought it: “It’s so hard.” Whether it’s starting a new habit, staying consistent with your plan, or doing the emotional work of changing your mindset, the hard moments can feel like stop signs.
But here’s the truth: hard doesn't mean wrong. In fact, hard is often the very thing that builds the strength, character, and confidence you’re craving.
In this episode, I share:
Why doing the hard thing is usually the right thing
How “easier said than done” is always true—and never an excuse
What to do when “hard” feels overwhelming
And how choosing the hard thing now makes life easier later
You were created for this. Let it be hard—and do it anyway. 💜

Romans 5:3–4
