My Live Hard Year: The Journey That Humbled Me and Built Me

On October 1, 2024, I made a promise to myself: to live a year of discipline, growth, and radical self-leadership through Andy Frisella’s Live Hard Program. I wasn’t just doing a challenge—I was committing to a lifestyle. One that would test every part of me: my mindset, my habits, my excuses, and my identity.

And let me tell you, it did.

Over the past year, I’ve completed two full rounds of 75 Hard, Phase 1, and Phase 2. I’ve taken cold showers when I didn’t want to. I’ve read the books. I’ve stuck to the plan. I’ve had conversations with strangers that stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. I’ve shown up for workouts in the rain, on the road, and on days when my body begged for rest. I’ve done the thing most people talk about doing but never finish.

And yet… I didn’t complete Phase 3.

And in the Live Hard world, that means one thing: you fail.

At first, that word, failure, stung. After all, I’d done so much, changed so much, and grown so deeply. How could this be a failure?

But here’s the truth: discipline isn’t just about completion. It’s about self-awareness. It’s about humility. It’s about who you become when no one’s watching.

Getting Comfortable Was My Wake-Up Call

Somewhere between the ice-cold showers and the pages of personal development books, I got comfortable. The routine became second nature. The grind turned into rhythm. The challenge became familiar. And that’s when the real test began.

Phase 3 kicked my butt, not because it was harder physically, but because it demanded more of me spiritually and mentally. It required a level of presence and intentionality that I thought I had mastered… but hadn’t.

And I realized something powerful:
When you stop growing, even if you’re still moving, you’re standing still.

Comfort is sneaky like that. It dresses up as peace, but it’s really stagnation. And I refuse to live a stagnant life.

Growth Isn’t Always Visible

This year, I’ve seen more internal transformation than ever before.
I’ve confronted the parts of me that crave ease.
I’ve faced the stories I tell myself when things get hard.
I’ve learned to sit in the discomfort and ask, “What is this teaching me?”

And while the world may not have seen a massive external shift, no before-and-after photo, no shiny announcement, the internal rewiring has been profound. I’ve built resilience. I’ve deepened my self-trust. I’ve remembered that I am capable of so much more than I often give myself credit for.

A New Beginning: Starting Over, Stronger

So here’s what’s next:
I’m starting over.

Not because I have to prove something.
Not because I failed.
But because I want to finish what I started—with a new level of intention, integrity, and embodiment.

This time, the mission is deeper.

This round, I’m not just looking for discipline—I’m seeking alignment.
I’m not just chasing external results—I’m creating a massive inner and outer transformation.

The body. The mind. The energy. The habits.
Everything is getting an upgrade.

What I’ve Learned So Far

Discipline is love. Keeping promises to yourself builds unshakable confidence.
Comfort is a trap. Growth only happens when you choose the hard thing,again and again.
Transformation is layered. You can’t see it all at once. Some seasons are for planting; others are for harvest.
You never really fail if you get back up. The only failure is quitting. And I’m not built for quitting.

Stay Tuned…

This next round isn’t about checking boxes, it’s about becoming.
It’s about mastering the inner game so the outer world reflects it.
It’s about being the woman who finishes, not because it’s required, but because she’s becoming unstoppable.

So stay tuned. Watch this journey unfold.
Because this version of me?
She’s coming for everything she said she would.
