In this episode of the Warrior Coaching Podcast, Mike and Rachael Novak go straight into the fire.
Because that’s where transformation is forged.

After 18 years of entrepreneurship, leadership, and spiritual warfare—they’ve learned one thing:
The path to power runs through pain.

Rachael breaks down why you must embrace the suck—because growth doesn’t come with comfort.
It comes with battle scars.

Mike introduces a concept every warrior must grasp:
“Pit to Peak.”
You want the mountain top?
Then you better be ready to bleed in the valley.

They open up about real trials—moments that brought them to their knees.
Including their son Tao’s journey through 75 Hard, and how pushing through discomfort led to a version of him they’d never seen before.

This isn’t motivation. It’s war strategy.

They talk:

• Why complacency is the real killer
• How clinging to past success is a trap
• And why change in relationships is mandatory for real growth

Rachael doesn’t sugarcoat it.
If you want to evolve—you’re going to have to let parts of you die.
Old habits.
Old mindsets.
Old identities.

Like a sculptor smashing stone to reveal the masterpiece…
Pain chisels your true self.

So here’s the truth:
Breakthrough won’t come until you stop resisting the fire and start walking through it.

If you're stuck, stagnant, or secretly scared of letting go—this episode is your wake-up call.

Ready to stop playing safe and start rising?
Listen now—and turn your pain into power.
