About this episode
Phoebe Cartwright discusses the importance of having high standards for health and career, and the need to embrace being 'abnormal' to achieve exceptionalism.
In this week's episode, I explore the uncomfortable truth that having high standards for your health and career often means embracing being "abnormal" in a world that settles for mediocrity. I discuss why discipline is frequently mislabelled as toxic and why rejecting the sedentary norm is the only way to build a life you are truly proud of. It is time to stop apologising for wanting to be exceptional and start doing the work that your future self will thank you for. Want my help? fatlossfundamentals.co.uk
