LIVE FREE: It’s the culmination of balancing the other 2 areas; “train hard” and “eat well”, but it’s also HOW we find our answers to them!
In order to live free, we must remove the weights that lay heavy on us…weights of fear, doubts, hang-ups, and more. The nuts & bolts of eating and exercising is easy–managing them while holding to your priorities, stewarding your resources, & keeping a healthy life balance is the tough part.
