EP164: Fu*k It Here's the Data
In this episode of DFW Grit, Dr. Taylor explores the difference between what we willingly give, what we begrudgingly give, and what gets taken from us. He reflects on how the systems, schedules, and expectations we create can eventually start draining us, and why those moments of feeling tapped out are not necessarily failure, but valuable data telling us it may be time to adjust.
