Challenging the Status Quo (with rain and barking dogs!)
Join me on a rainy ruck march as I dive into the reasons why we often resist challenging the status quo. I'll be exploring the fears, social conditioning, and societal pressures that hold us back, and I encourage you to question your own comfort zones and embrace the unknown. Get ready for a candid, soul-searching conversation filled with personal reflections and insights, all while I navigate muddy paths and evade barking dogs!
