But in today's world, where survival is relatively easy, this same wiring can keep you stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

This week, you’ll hear how, whether it’s changing your relationship with alcohol or any other challenging goal, choosing to do hard things forces you to grow and stretch beyond what you think you're capable of.
