Many people are exhausted from trying to completely reinvent themselves every few months.

New systems, new routines, new identities, new forms of optimization.

But sustainable transformation is often less about becoming someone entirely different and more about learning how to consistently move in the direction of the person you already want to become.

Little by little, choice by choice, moment by moment.

And maybe that's the deeper invitation inside this conversation, to build enough self-trust to keep returning to what matters.

And next up in our Forged in Adversity series, I'll be joined by Walter Green for a powerful conversation about legacy service and how adversity can ripple outward into the lives we impact.

Because sometimes the deepest meaning we create from suffering comes through with what we choose to give forward.

Until next time, remember, transformation rarely happens all at once.

More often, it happens through the small choices quietly shape who we become.

I'm John Miles, and you've been Passion Struck.

As I've gotten older, I've realized something.

Recovery matters just as much as performance.

There was a time when I could push hard, bounce back, and never think twice about it.

But lately I started noticing that some workouts left me more drained than energized.

My sleep, focus, and recovery just felt off.

And what surprised me is how much of that can start beneath the surface, with markers most people never think to check.

Things like magnesium, iron, and even your hormone levels can directly affect your energy recovery and performance.

When they're off, everything feels harder than it should.
