Jeff challenges the belief that struggle and hard work are the only paths to success. He explains how overusing our strengths can create unnecessary friction, and how true growth comes from finding ease, flow, and alignment in our daily lives. Jeff explores the importance of rewiring our thinking to embrace strategies that feel natural, sustainable, and energizing rather than draining. He also highlights how teamwork, perspective shifts, and honoring your innate genius can eliminate burnout and unlock momentum. This episode is a call to let go of struggle, trust your strengths, and step fully into your unique flow.
