He shares what’s actually worked for him across different seasons of life—and why your routine should evolve as your life evolves. You’ll learn a simple “3-bucket” framework (physical, mental, spiritual), how to identify your non-negotiable anchors, and how to drop the “shoulds” that create friction.
