#019 Self-discipline: liberation from within

Season #1

If self-discipline feels like suffering, you’re doing it wrong.

This podcast episode challenges the traditional negative perception of self-discipline as restriction and sacrifice, reframing it as liberation from within. Christiane David, Money Life Coach, argues that real self-discipline isn’t about punishment—it’s about aligning your actions with your deepest desires, values, and goals to achieve financial and personal transformation. She reveals the truth: aligned action, not restriction, is the real key to lasting change.

Here's You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why “self-discipline” often feels like a dirty word—and how to redefine it

  • How to build lasting habits rooted in self-love rather than sacrifice

  • What resistance actually means (hint: it's not laziness)

  • The link between energy alignment and consistency

  • How to create financial plans that feel empowering—not restrictive

  • Real-life examples of aligned discipline in both fitness and finances

  • Why your “why” is your most powerful motivator for change
