Fasting Isn’t About Food...It’s About Emotional Mastery

What if the reason you keep breaking your commitments isn’t about willpower, but emotions? This episode dives into how emotions like stress, frustration, and apathy quietly hijack your habits, your follow-through, and your sense of integrity. I’m sharing how a simple weekly fasting practice helped me see where I was letting feelings lead, and how often that meant letting myself down. This isn’t about food. It’s about practicing emotional discipline. It’s about learning to show up even when you don’t feel like it. You’ll walk away with personal insights, real-life examples, and a clear challenge: make one small commitment AND KEEP IT, no matter what your emotions say. If you’re tired of breaking promises to yourself, let’s change that. WANT TO FEEL MORE CLARITY, CONFIDENCE AND PURPOSE? Get the "Having It A.L.L.
