Most people don't struggle because they don't know what to do—they struggle because they don't believe they can follow through.
In this episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris explores the concept of self-efficacy: the belief that you can make meaningful change. Whether your goal is overcoming pain, losing weight, improving your fitness, or building healthier habits, your confidence in yourself is often a stronger predictor of success than the plan itself.
You'll walk through a simple reflection exercise designed to help you identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, build confidence, and focus on the next step instead of the entire mountain. If you've ever felt stuck despite knowing what you "should" do, this episode will give you a practical framework to help you move forward.
