Eric Bugera returns to RX’D Radio for a raw conversation about hitting the wall. From moving homes and raising a toddler to juggling multiple jobs, Eric shares how being buried under life stress gave him a new understanding of the concepts he coaches every day. He and Jiunta dive into allostatic load, how maturity reshapes your goals, and why more work doesn’t always mean more success. They discuss the reality of coaching with integrity, the dangers of scope creep, and the value of finding where your effort actually matters.
