Hiii. After getting sick (again), navigating even more grief, and being forced to slow tf down, I had a lot of time to bed rot and binge watch the Olympics.And in case you have no idea, Olympic figure skater Alyssa Liu is America’s new favorite person. Her story embodies everything I’ve been trying to say on this podcast: You can be disciplined and driven without attaching your identity to achievement.
