Every new year begins with goals, intentions, and promises we swear we'll keep — and yet so many of us find ourselves stuck in the same cycle: starting strong, falling off, feeling ashamed, and giving up altogether.

In this solo episode of Worthy, Jess takes a compassionate and honest look at discipline, why we resist it, and how it's been misunderstood for far too long. Instead of punishment or pressure, discipline is reframed as one of the purest forms of self-love — the act of keeping promises to yourself and building deep self-trust.

Drawing from yoga philosophy, Jess introduces the concept of Tapas, often translated as discipline but better understood as burning enthusiasm. This episode explores why starting something new feels so hard, how fear disguises itself as procrastination or distraction, and why our brains are wired to choose comfort over growth.

Jess vulnerably shares her own journey — including her fear of success, fear of responsibility, and the belief that she wasn't capable of handling the life she wanted. Everything shifted when the pain of staying where she was became greater than the fear of moving toward a new direction. What followed was the creation of small, supportive habits that ultimately led her to a completely different calling than she first imagined.

This episode is for anyone who:

• Struggles to stay consistent with goals or routines
  
  

• Feels stuck starting over again and again
  
  

• Fears failure or success
  
  

• Wants to rebuild self-trust and confidence
  
  

• Is craving momentum, clarity, and alignment in the new year
  
  

✨ You'll walk away with reflective questions, practical mindset shifts, and permission to start imperfectly — because starting creates momentum, and momentum creates belief.

Discipline isn't about being harder on yourself.
It's about believing you're worth showing up for.
