In this episode of Taking Back Monday, Alyssa Nolte sits down with Jason Yarusi, creator of the Live 100 program, to dig deep into the journey of self-discovery and transformation. Jason shares his story of overcoming personal struggles and tragedies, hitting rock bottom, and ultimately finding purpose through small, intentional changes. They discuss the power of breaking unproductive habits, gamifying tasks, and building momentum toward a life you actually want to live. Alyssa and Jason also touch on the importance of self-awareness, setting meaningful goals, and redefining success in both personal and professional life. If you've ever felt stuck or struggled with the Monday blues, this conversation is full of insights and strategies to help you find fulfillment every day of the week. Tune in for an inspiring look at what it really means to "take back Monday" and live with purpose.

Key Takeaways:

• Small Changes, Big Impact: Jason highlights how making small, consistent changes can transform your life over time. Success doesn’t come from one giant leap but from steady progress.
• Define Your Own Success: Rather than measuring success by someone else’s standards, Jason encourages setting goals based on what genuinely fulfills you, not what society deems successful.
• Self-Awareness as a Superpower: Understanding your reactions, habits, and triggers is key to growth. Self-awareness allows you to pivot from unproductive habits and align your actions with who you want to become.
