power through
Force your way
To power through is to continue despite difficulty, fatigue, or resistance—pushing forward by sheer will or effort rather than finesse.
You power through a long workday, a boring book, or a tough workout.
The phrase implies endurance over enjoyment: I wasn't feeling great but powered through the presentation.
Sometimes it suggests ignoring problems rather than solving them: She just powered through the pain instead of seeing a doctor.
