From Underdog to Winner: The Moment Everything Clicked

Most of us grow up in some version of the underdog story — fighting, hustling, pushing through struggle. But nobody teaches you how to switch into a winner mindset once life improves. In this morning walk, I unpack the patterns I noticed in myself, my family, and even in the Springboks — why we cling to struggle, why we sabotage momentum, and what it really takes to break the inner conflict that keeps us stuck. If you’ve ever felt like you start strong but don’t finish, or like success feels unfamiliar… this one will hit home.
