In life and business, the storms come and go, but how we prepare and adapt makes all the difference. During a recent conversation on the Get Better Every Day Podcast, Tanya Wermund, co-founder of Rebel Women, shared some personal insights on navigating tough times in the mortgage industry and embracing a transformative challenge known as the 75-Day Quest.

Facing Challenges with Resilience 🌊

The mortgage industry can be unforgiving. Tanya describes her journey, starting in high school, helping with loans alongside her father, leaving the industry after the 2008 financial crisis, and eventually returning with renewed purpose. The lesson? Challenges may break us temporarily, but we have the power to rebuild stronger each time.

She credits her ability to bounce back to mental discipline, which she strengthens through the 75-Day Quest—a customized journey of self-discipline inspired by 75 Hard.


What is the 75-Day Quest? 🔥

Unlike the typical 75 Hard challenge, Tanya calls her journey a “quest.” Why? It’s not just about physical changes but a mental reset.

Here’s what the quest entails:

  • Two 45-minute workouts (one must be outdoors)
  • 10 pages of reading from a non-fiction, self-development book
  • A gallon of water daily
  • A progress picture each day
  • A clean diet (personalized to fit your goals)

This commitment is about training the mind to conquer discomfort and rebuild discipline, especially when life gets comfortable. As Tanya puts it, staying comfortable is the quickest way to stagnate. The Quest is a call to regain focus and reclaim control over your mind and health.


Empathy Weight and Comfortable Living 🏡🍕

Tanya’s co-host shared a moment many of us can relate to—gaining “empathy weight” while supporting his wife through pregnancy. It’s a reminder that life’s comforts—whether it’s skipping the gym or indulging in emotional eating—can sneak up on us. These moments are part of the human experience, but they also emphasize the importance of mental awareness.

Whether you’re balancing a mortgage business or personal health goals, the 75-Day Quest teaches us that every day is an opportunity to get a little bit better.


Mental Discipline is Everything 🧠

According to Tanya, everything in life—business, relationships, personal growth—requires mental discipline. As an empty nester, she realized how easy it was to fall into comfortable habits, but discipline is the key to regaining control and setting herself up for future success. “Get your mind right, and your grind tight,” she says, channeling the power of routine to face life’s storms.

Her words are a reminder: no matter where you are in life, it’s never too late to reset. The only competition is with the person in the mirror.


Your Quest Starts Today 🚀

This podcast inspires us all to get a little better every day. Maybe you won’t conquer everything at once, but small, consistent efforts will build momentum. Are you ready to start your 75-day Quest? Remember, every great transformation starts with a single step.
