Ep #81: How to Survive Feeling Uncomfortable

Feeling uncomfortable

We’re getting deep on the podcast this week with a topic on discomfort that you might find hard to swallow. You might want to resist what I’m discussing, but I urge you to stay with me as I take you through some self-coaching concepts that will help you step into the person and life that you’ve always said you want.

A lot of us are, frankly, lying to ourselves when we say we can’t go after something. Maybe it’s losing weight, or being financially stable in your business, or putting out content on your social media or website. A whole slew of excuses that seem absolutely legit and solid for why we can’t do it.

Today, I’m unraveling the real reason we are unwilling to go after the things we say we want and why the feeling of discomfort can be so hard to move past. I’m sharing some tools that I hope will help you see that the feeling of discomfort is actually the path to success and that it’s nothing to freak out about, so you can finally take the steps towards your dreams.

If you want to keep this conversation going, you have to join my free Design You Podcast community on Facebook. We have great conversations over there about the podcast episodes and our podcast guests are in there too! So head on over and I’ll see you there!
