Today Angela reminds us that strong really does feel good.

Because the truth is: Angela Gargano is no stranger to NOT feeling good. (You may know her from America Ninja Warrior where she tore her ACL on live TV... twice).

Growing up, she was bullied growing up for her physical strength and that made her insecurities very real. It took some time but she eventually found \\u201cher people\\u201d (as well as a pair of stripper shoes?!) and that really helped Angela step into confidence (pun intended).

For her, mindset is everything... because strong looks good but it\\xa0feels\\xa0even better.\\xa0

\\u201cIf you can learn to love yourself in all the different states, that\\u2019s the win right there.\\u201d

Episode breakdown:

• Intimate eye gazing (authentic relating)
• Meditation isn\\u2019t about clearing the mind
• Establishing a morning routine post-rockbottom
• Journaling, habit stacking & other \\u201cnon-negotiable\\u201d
• Designing life from a \\u201chow do I want to feel\\u201d perspective
• Shifting out of \\u201cexternal stories\\u201d for fulfillment and shifting to the \\u201cinternal\\u201d focus

\\u2026and the one question that is the secret sauce to get through the \\u201c\\u2026but how?!\\u201d

Because the truth is:

\\u201cIf you\\u2019re not living your life by design, you\\u2019re living your life by default.\\u201d
