Everybody feels like an imposter at first until we decide to push through in order to get to the next side. It's really hard to grow if we’re always comfortable but we need to get out of our comfort zone to improve.

Consistency wins the game for everything and I talk about that in today's episode of The Launch Your Life Podcast with Madonna Hanna who is a competitive sprinter in the 50 meter and 100 meter dash, motivational speaker, freelance writer, and actress.

Tune in today and get motivation to get started on whatever your dream is.

When I got back into exercise in 2014 I had to fight with myself to do it because I had this mindset that exercise was punishment.

I don't know where that came from.

But I had to change my mindset and it became something more along the lines of “What can I do with this body?”

I had to get really curious about it in order to make myself do things.

It's really hard to grow if we’re always comfortable. But we need to get out of our comfort zone to improve.

I always like to tell people that the best exercise is one you'll do with consistency. 

Because consistency wins the game for everything.

In today’s episode of The Launch Your Life Podcast, I’m with Madonna Hanna who is a competitive sprinter in the 50 meter and 100 meter dash, motivational speaker, freelance writer, and actress.
