Stop Dating Potential — Here’s Why It Never Works

Описание: Nobody really prepares you for the quiet, lonely part of growth — especially when you’re actually doing better. The discipline. The distance. The moment you realize you can’t go back to who you used to be, even if that version felt more familiar.

In this episode of Vibes & Affirmations, G sits down with Jeff for a real, grounded conversation about losing yourself, rebuilding discipline, setting boundaries, and learning how to sit with yourself when growth stops being loud and starts being honest.

What we cover
– Why rest is still productive
– Motivation vs discipline
– Boundaries and self-worth
– Letting go of potential and facing reality
– Why growth can feel lonely before it feels peaceful
– Honoring old versions of yourself without going back
