Podcasts about discomfort

What if the discomfort you're feeling in business isn't a red flag… but a rite of passage? In this episode, Sam unpacks the “sticky middle” of growth, the identity shifts, leadership edges, and uncomfortable expansions that happen right before your next level unlocks. From leaving the coaching industry to building a media company, she shares the real-time lessons of delegation, direct communication, and releasing control.If you're in a season where your business feels tight, unclear, or like it's stretching you beyond who you've been,  this conversation will help you reframe the pain as proof that expansion is happening. This episode is for founders, creatives, and leaders who know they're outgrowing their current identity and are ready to step into something bigger.Discomfort is often confirmation that expansion is underway.Delegation isn't loss of control — it's multiplication of capacity.Leadership requires clarity and directness, not self-doubt.Growth may cost old identities — but it makes space for aligned opportunities.You don't have to shrink into one box. You are allowed to expand into multiple expressions of who you are.Website: www.voiceandvisibility.comNewsletter: https://voiceandvisibility.myflodesk.com/optinFollow Samantha on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesamanthawarrenFollow Samantha on Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/voiceandvisibilityKey TakeawaysConnect with Sam / Voice and Visibility

Executive leader and transformation strategist Victoria Pelletier joins me to talk about what happens when success stops feeling like success — and why growth requires stepping into discomfort intentionally.Most career narratives celebrate upward mobility, titles, and financial wins. This episode looks underneath that surface. Victoria and I unpack the transition from chasing validation and status to building a life anchored in meaning, resilience, and conscious choice.Victoria shares how a traumatic childhood, adoption, and early exposure to scarcity drove her relentless pursuit of achievement. Becoming an executive at 24, climbing the corporate ladder, accumulating status and material markers of success — all of it was within her control. And all of it was tied to external validation.Then life intervened.Motherhood shifted priorities. Loss reshaped perspective. Reflection redefined what mattered.From there, our conversation expands into resilience, self-awareness, and the uncomfortable but necessary process of recalibrating identity. We talk about bankruptcy, layoffs, corporate politics, performative leadership, toxic top performers, and why discomfort — when processed deliberately — becomes a catalyst instead of a crisis.This isn't a motivational episode about “pushing through.”It's a conversation about processing adversity, choosing discomfort strategically, and designing growth rather than defaulting to reaction.The lesson isn't to reject ambition.It's to anchor it in alignment rather than approval.TL;DR* External validation can masquerade as success.* Trauma often fuels achievement — but doesn't define fulfillment.* Resilience isn't brute force; it requires reflection and processing.* Discomfort is where growth happens — if approached consciously.* Surround yourself with people who challenge without destabilizing.* Toxic top performers erode culture, even if they hit numbers.* Performative leadership creates long-term organizational decay.* Real reinvention begins when identity shifts, not just strategy.Memorable Lines* “Everything you've ever wanted lives on the other side of fear.”* “Resilience isn't shouldering everything — it's processing it.”* “Discomfort is the price of clarity.”* “Validation can look like success — until it doesn't.”* “If you want growth, step into the room that scares you.”GuestVictoria Pelletier — Executive leader and transformation strategistSpecializing in the intersection of human performance, leadership, and technology-driven transformation. Known for candid conversations around resilience, culture, and creating environments where people actually thrive.

Why do so many leaders work hard to change — only to end up in the same place months later? What if the problem isn't effort, but the beliefs running in the background? In this episode of The Radical Candor Podcast, Kim Scott and Amy Sandler are joined by Muriel Wilkins — executive coach, C-suite advisor, host of Coaching Real Leaders, and author of Leadership Unblocked. Together, they unpack why high performers default to action, how action bias can backfire when internal beliefs stay the same, and what it takes to create sustainable leadership growth. Muriel introduces seven common “hidden blockers,” including I need it done now, I can't say no, and I don't belong here, and explains how these beliefs drive behavior that feels productive in the short term but creates dissonance over time. The conversation also explores how leaders can build the muscle of noticing what's happening internally, ask better coaching questions without attachment, and reduce unnecessary suffering by changing how they respond to challenges. If you've ever wondered, “Why do I keep ending up here again?” this episode offers a grounded, practical way forward.

Philosopher and writer Eamon Evans on humanity's relentless and impossible pursuit of happiness through materialism, social media and self help, and why the kindest and best people have been 'crushed by life' a couple of times.Eamon started to think more deeply about happiness and contentment in his 20s, after a bout of serious depression.He realised that trying to be happy all the time was paradoxically making him miserable, and says that's true for most of us in this modern world.Eamon began to trace the history of human's infatuation with being happy.What he found was that the story of humanity was tied up with other pursuits like survival, honour, virtue and discipline until very recently.Only in the 20th century did people start wanting to stop to smell the roses all the time, but Eamon says a permanent state of happiness impossible and emotionally counterproductive.In fact, our obsession with being happy is actually making us sad, and on top of that, it's making us sad about the fact that we're sad—a concept called 'meta-unhappiness'.Eamon acknowledges misery can sometimes be pathological, and it's important that lifesaving progress has been made on creating spaces here people can speak out and seek help.But in terms of daily, natural feelings of struggle, he says it's better to accept these as a normal part of human life, and look upon seasons of misery as miracles that build character, make us kinder, and more interesting.The Importance of Being Miserable is published by Simon and Schuster.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, Executive Producer was Nicola Harrison.It explores advertising, marketing, smart phones, addiction, dopamine, serotonin, Gen Z, glimmers of hope, gratitude, being grateful, how to be grateful, gratitude journal, Buddhism, enlightenment, Mad Men, advertising, capitalism, mental health, mental wellbeing, self help books, religion, industrial revolution, greed, property, wants versus needs.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

92 percent.That's how many Black women voted for Kamala Harris.And somehow… we're still being asked to carry the country.To welcome in Black History Month, we're unpacking what that 92 percent statistic really means and why Black women voters remain the most ignored constituency in the room.This isn't just about politics though.It's about grace.It's about systemic racism in America.It's about faith being weaponized in Christianity and politics.And it's about immigration, dehumanization, and who gets protected.We're chatting about:The meaning behind the 92 percent of Black women who voted for Kamala Harris (and why that number matters!)The “grace gap” and the emotional labor placed on Black women in politics and cultureThe misuse of Christianity in politics and what faith actually calls us to doWhy Black History Month should question endurance, not just celebrate itRace should not be a privilege and humanity should not be conditional.

Big emotions don't shrink by talking about them. They shrink through practice.In this episode of Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline shares playful, practical distress-tolerance activities that help children and teens stay with discomfort without exploding, avoiding, or shutting down. From ice cube challenges to boredom practice, rule-changing games, and urge-surfing exercises, this episode shows how to train the brain to stay online when emotions spike. Designed for classrooms, therapy rooms, and families at home, these tools help kids learn that discomfort rises, shifts, and passes — and that they can handle it.Homework IdeasThese activities work best when adults join in. Keep them brief. Stay curious. Talk about what shows up.Ice Cube HoldHold an ice cube and notice the sensations as they change. The goal isn't endurance — it's staying present until it melts.Ask: “What did your body want to do?” “Did the feeling stay the same?”Silent Sound ChallengeSit quietly and listen for small sounds around you. Notice boredom, restlessness, or wandering thoughts without fixing them.Ask: “What showed up when things got quiet?” “What urge did you notice?”Sour Candy or Lemon BiteLet the sour hit. Stay with it as the intensity fades.Ask: “How long did the strongest part last?” “How is this like big emotions?”Still-as-a-StatueStay in one position and notice urges to move, scratch, or quit.Ask: “What urge was hardest to ignore?” “What happened when you didn't act on it?”Itchy Nose / Ride the UrgeNotice an itch or urge without giving in. Watch it rise and pass.Ask: “Did the urge change over time?” “When else do urges feel like this?”Rule-Change GamesChange the rules halfway through a game and watch what comes up.Ask: “What feeling showed up when things changed?” “What helped you keep going?”Delayed Gratification PracticeWait between episodes, treats, or rewards. Sit with the wanting.Ask: “What did waiting feel like?” “What helped you handle it?”Urge TimerSet a short timer and sit with an urge without acting. Slowly increase time.Ask: “What helped you stay?” “What would you try again?”One Rule for All HomeworkKeep it short (3–5 minutes). Do it together. Always link it back:“What did you do here that could help next time something feels hard?”Enjoying the show?

Send us a textIn this week's episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm unpacking a topic that sits at the core of emotional healing and change: discomfort. Not all discomfort is the same, and confusing them is one of the main reasons people stay stuck far longer than they need to. One form of discomfort is the kind that keeps us trapped, the other is the kind that helps us grow.This episode is about learning how to tell the difference between chronic, soul-draining discomfort and the finite discomfort that leads to real healing, and how internal safety and support make all the difference.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:The difference between the endless discomfort of staying stuck and the temporary discomfort that comes with growth and changeWhy experiential avoidance numbs not only pain, but also joy, meaning, and alivenessHow manageable discomfort creates learning, flow, and forward movement instead of shutdownWhy a “safe base,” internally and externally, is essential for sustainable growthHow boundaries, emotional regulation, and support systems create the safety needed to tolerate changeDiscomfort isn't the enemy. But unsupported, overwhelming discomfort keeps us frozen. When you choose the finite discomfort of growth and pair it with enough safety, healing becomes possible and sustainable.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes for grounded insights, emotional tools, and practical guidance on living a more whole and connected life.Thank you for listening.

  Hypnosis is often misunderstood and dismissed as performance or placebo.   In this conversation, Ebrahim Turner, widely known as the "billionaire hypnotist," breaks down what hypnosis really is and why it has become one of the most powerful tools for personal and professional transformation.   From rewiring habits and addressing deep-rooted trauma to improving performance in business and high-pressure environments like Dubai, Ebrahim explains how the subconscious mind quietly shapes our behavior, decisions, and emotional responses.   This episode explores why lasting change doesn't come from motivation alone, how trauma shows up in unexpected ways and why vulnerability is often the gateway to real confidence and success.   A raw, practical conversation about anxiety, identity, perception, and what happens when external success no longer masks internal struggle.  Timestamps 00:00 – The journey into hypnosis 02:11 – What hypnosis really is (and isn't) 04:36 – Suggestibility and the subconscious mind 08:26 – Success rates, expectations, and lasting change 10:54 – Skepticism around hypnosis 12:10 – Trust and safety in the process 15:08 – Working with high performers and billionaires 18:11 – Rapid Transformational Therapy explained 20:06 – Habits, patterns, and subconscious programming 23:34 – ADHD, trauma, and emotional roots 25:36 – Identifying the real core issue 30:08 – Using hypnosis in business and leadership 33:02 – The emotional reality of sales 37:05 – Fragility, resilience, and pressure 38:36 – Identity, self-image, and performance 41:07 – Discomfort, vulnerability, and growth 45:06 – Anxiety and imposter syndrome 52:46 – Revisiting trauma and emotional release 01:07:11 – Breath, awareness, and perspective shifts 01:09:08 – Visualizing success and changing perception 01:11:52 – Fear, confidence, and self-belief 01:14:51 – Transformational moments and breakthroughs 01:18:03 – Understanding emotional responses 01:21:57 – Social pressure, expectations, and comparison 01:25:53 – Finding calm in a fast-paced world 01:29:47 – Redefining success and growth 01:33:46 – The future of hypnosis and mindset work    Show Sponsors:   AYS Developers: A design-focused company dedicated to crafting exceptional homes, vibrant communities, and inspiring lifestyle experiences. https://bit.ly/AYS-Developers    Follow Spencer Lodge on Social Media  https://www.instagram.com/madeindubaipodcast/?hl=en  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586194260076  https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en   https://www.tiktok.com/@spencer.lodge   https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/   https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV   https://www.facebook.com/spencerlodgeofficial/      Follow Ebrahim Turner on Social Media  https://www.instagram.com/ebrahim/  https://www.facebook.com/ebrahimturner/   https://www.youtube.com/@ebrahim.turner  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ebrahimturner/   go.ebrahimturner.com/o     

There's no way around it — results require discomfort. Fat loss, muscle gain, conditioning, and discipline all come from doing what's uncomfortable consistently. In this episode, I break down why avoiding discomfort keeps people stuck and why embracing it is the only path to real fitness results.

In this episode, we explore a powerful and often misunderstood truth about pain. Pain is not simply a muscle or tissue problem. It is a brain based experience.Modern pain science shows us that the brain plays a central role in how pain is created, interpreted, and maintained. While muscles may feel tight, weak, or painful, they are often responding to messages coming from the nervous system rather than being the root cause.You will learn how protective patterns develop in the brain through stress, injury, trauma, repetitive movement, or emotional load. Over time, these patterns can keep muscles in a constant state of contraction, leading to ongoing discomfort, stiffness, and pain even when there is no longer tissue damage.This is where clinical somatic movement becomes so effective.Clinical somatic movement works directly with the brain through slow, mindful, intentional movement. Instead of forcing muscles to stretch or strengthen, this approach helps the brain update outdated protective signals. Through processes such as pandiculation, the nervous system can relearn how to fully release muscle contraction, restore movement efficiency, and reduce pain at its source.In this episode, you will discover:• Why pain is an output of the brain, not just a symptom of the body• How chronic muscle tension is often a learned neurological pattern• Why stretching alone rarely creates lasting relief• How clinical somatic movement retrains the brain to reduce pain naturally• What it means to work with your nervous system rather than against itIf you are navigating midlife changes, persistent pain, or a sense that your body no longer responds the way it used to, this conversation will resonate deeply.Go to: https://TotalSomatics.com/Midlife and join me & other guest speakers to this FREE Online EventI would love you to join me for my upcoming FREE ONLINE event taking place over the weekend of 21st and 22nd February.Navigating Midlife is a supportive, science-informed experience designed to help you understand your body, brain, and nervous system during this important stage of life.

In this Think Thursday episode, we explore how the human brain evolved to use discomfort as information—and what happens when modern life removes nearly all friction, effort, and delay.Our brains weren't designed for constant comfort. Discomfort once served as critical feedback, helping guide behavior, attention, rest, and problem-solving. But in today's world of instant gratification and instant relief, discomfort is often treated as a problem to eliminate rather than a signal to interpret.This episode unpacks why that shift matters for brain health, motivation, resilience, and long-term satisfaction—and how intentional discomfort can support a hedonic reset.In this episode, we discuss:Why discomfort evolved as a key feedback mechanism in the human brainHow instant relief interrupts the brain's ability to learn from discomfortThe difference between regulation and comfort from a neuroscience perspectiveHow highly concentrated, low-effort rewards shape motivation and satisfactionThe concept of hedonic adaptation and why “enough” keeps movingWhat a hedonic reset actually is (and what it isn't)How intentional discomfort supports nervous system regulationThe role of dopamine, effort, and delay in sustaining motivationWhy distress tolerance is a foundational skill for behavior changeHow identity shifts through repeated, slightly uncomfortable choicesExpert perspectives referenced:Dr. Anna Lembke, author of Dopamine Nation, on pleasure–pain balance and modern reward concentrationDr. Andrew Huberman on dopamine signaling, effort, and motivationJames Clear on identity following behaviorInspiration from a conversation on the Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. LembkeOne gentle experiment to try this week:Choose one moment per day when you notice mild discomfort—boredom, restlessness, or the urge to distract—and pause instead of fixing it.Examples:Standing in line without reaching for your phoneSitting with boredom for 60–90 secondsLetting an urge rise and fall without reactingNotice:Where you feel the sensation in your bodyWhat thoughts show upWhether the feeling changes on its ownThis isn't about forcing discomfort or pushing through distress. It's about teaching your nervous system that discomfort is tolerable and temporary—and that awareness alone can create change.Key takeaway:Discomfort isn't a problem to solve. It's information to work with.In a culture built around instant relief and effortless reward, intentional discomfort can be a powerful way to restore balance, protect motivation, and support long-term brain health. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this raw, no-fluff solo episode, Sheila Bella breaks down why most entrepreneurs don't fail because they're bad at business—but because they panic at the exact moment they need to think like a CEO. This isn't a motivational pep talk. It's a leadership recalibration. Sheila explains why the "middle" of business feels so uncomfortable, how panic thinking quietly destroys businesses, and what real CEOs do differently when pressure hits. If you've been questioning yourself, your business, or your capacity to keep going—this conversation will help you reframe what's actually happening and show you how to lead through it instead of burning everything down. You're not failing. You're being forged.

Planning an Ireland vacation can feel overwhelming when you start adding up the numbers -but a memorable trip doesn't have to be out of reach. With smart choices and a few intentional trade-offs, travelers can enjoy Ireland fully without overspending. Guinness costs less in a rural pub This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 324. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. How to Travel Ireland on a Tighter Budget Without Regret Ireland isn't expensive because of one single thing – it's the accumulation of daily costs. Understanding where money actually matters (and where it doesn't) makes all the difference. What a Realistic Daily Budget Looks Like For travelers watching their spending, typical daily costs (not including flights) often look like this: Budget-conscious travelers: around €130 per day Mid-range comfort: approximately €180 per day Comfort & luxury: €300+ per day That daily spend usually includes accommodations, meals, transportation, and attractions. Knowing this baseline helps travelers decide where to adjust – without sacrificing what they'll remember most. Comfort Matters More Than Luxury Most travelers are happy to skip fancy hotels, upgraded rooms, or city-center addresses. What they won't give up: A good night's sleep Private rooms and quiet locations Comfortable beds and reliable hot water (with good water pressure) Discomfort creates regret, and regret has a way of coloring the entire trip. Local goats cheese with greens and Shepherd's pie Spend Less on Food-But Eat Well Dining is one of the easiest places to adjust spending. Plan fewer, better meals instead of eating out constantly Avoid high-priced areas like Temple Bar for everyday meals and pints Choose accommodations with breakfast outside the cities Use grocery shops or petrol stations for casual lunches or picnic supplies Saving money on food isn't about deprivation – it's about choosing when the experience really matters. Guide to Eating Well During Your Ireland Vacation Stay Outside the Most Expensive Areas Staying just outside major hubs can significantly reduce accommodation costs. Villages near Dublin connected by DART or bus offer better value Rural areas near popular spots like Killarney, Dingle, or County Clare beyond Doolin often cost less The trade-off is time and logistics. Distance is flexible; complicated transportation and missed evenings in local pubs are not. Off-Season Travel: Big Savings, Different Rhythm Traveling outside peak season can mean:Pros Lower airfare and accommodation costs Fewer crowds Easier access to popular sites Cons Shorter daylight hours (often 8 hours or less in winter) Cooler, wetter weather Reduced hours or closures at smaller attractions Off-season trips suit flexible travelers, repeat visitors, and those who enjoy a slower pace. Transportation: Money vs. Time Public transportation is affordable, but it comes with trade-offs: Limited access in rural areas Longer travel times Less flexibility if plans change It works best for city-based itineraries with structured day trips. Renting a car costs more -but saves time and opens up more of the countryside. Flights: Cheapest Isn't Always the Best Deal Bare-bones airfare can backfire once baggage fees, seat selection, or change costs are added. Look for fares that include a checked bag and flexibility Learn typical pricing so true deals stand out Flexibility upfront often saves money later Flight search & fare tools for Ireland Flight monitoring & booking strategy (best timing for fixed dates) Ross Castle in Killarney Free Experiences & the OPW Heritage Card Ireland offers an incredible range of free experiences: Natural landscapes, hikes, and ruins National museums in Dublin and Castlebar One of the best values for travelers is the OPW Heritage Card, which often pays for itself in six or seven visits. It covers many top sites, including: Rock of Cashel Glendalough Visitor Centre Newgrange Kilmainham Gaol OPW Heritage Card (access to top historic sites) Irish heritage sites (the most popular + often overlooked) Used thoughtfully, it shapes a relaxed itinerary instead of becoming a checklist. Souvenirs That Actually Matter Travelers are moving away from mass-produced trinkets and toward: One or two meaningful items (jewelry, wool, crafts) Consumables like Irish chocolate or whiskey Memory-keepers like journals with ticket stubs and photos (the spiral bound My Ireland Vacation Planner & Journal is perfect for this!) The goal isn't proof of travel – it's connection and memories. Where Travelers Most Often Have Regrets After the trip, regrets rarely come from spending money. They usually come from: Overly long driving days Skipping a must-do experience Choosing poor accommodations What travelers don't regret: A truly great meal Staying somewhere special (yes, castles count) Buying a meaningful souvenir Saving money should never come at the cost of time – because time doesn't come back. Traveling Ireland on a tighter budget isn't about being cheap. It's about being intentional, returning home with great memories, and not wishing you'd done things differently. The post Ireland on a Tighter Budget: Smart Ways to Spend Less, Not Miss Out appeared first on Ireland Family Vacations.

In this episode, Dr. Anna Marie introduces The Becoming Years, a series about rebuilding identity, connection, and success after 40. She speaks candidly about the emotional and practical shifts of midlife—especially for high-achieving women—covering the feelings of being "behind," the pull toward deeper, more authentic connections, and the exhaustion of living on adrenaline and approval. She explores the neurological, hormonal, and identity changes of midlife, and invites listeners to slow down, reflect with compassion, and intentionally redefine what success and meaningful connection look like in this next chapter.   Key Points: Rebuilding identity, connection, and success after 40 Feeling "behind" at midlife and reframing that belief The "meantime space" between life's highs and lows Midlife as a wake-up call to ask what we truly want Three major shifts: neurological, hormonal, identity Perimenopause and changing energy/mood Burnout from running on adrenaline and approval Letting go of proving and people-pleasing Choosing relationships and activities that give energy Discomfort of slowing down and being less "busy" Using quiet, breath, and reflection instead of numbing Gratitude for how far you've already come Invitation to redefine success and deeper connections after 40 Connect with Anna: Email: annamarie@happywholeyou.com / info@HappyWholeYou.com Website: www.happywholeyou.com / https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou Personal Website: www.DrAnnaMarie.com Instagram: @happywholeyou Personal Instagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie Facebook: Happy Whole You LinkedIn: Anna Marie Frank Venmo: @happywholeyou

Friend… let's be honest. Most of the time, “it's fine” is not fine. It's the moment right before you abandon yourself to keep the peace.In this episode, we slow way down and talk about that exact moment — the pause, the tightening, the choice to smooth things over instead of staying with yourself. This is a conversation about real confidence, self-trust, and why confidence isn't built by feeling ready… it's built by what you do when things feel uncomfortable.If you've ever over-explained, gone quiet, minimized your needs, or told yourself “it's not worth it,” this episode will feel like I'm sitting right next to you on the couch saying, “I see you — and there's another way.”WHAT WE GET INTO1️⃣ “It's fine” is rarely about peace — it's about protection. Most of the time, you're choosing safety over honesty.2️⃣ Your nervous system isn't asking if something is aligned — it's asking if connection is at risk. Discomfort means unfamiliar, not wrong.3️⃣ Self-abandonment doesn't happen loudly. It happens politely — through minimizing, over-explaining, and keeping the vibe light.4️⃣ Confidence isn't built by feeling ready. It's built in the pause — when you don't smooth it over or disappear.5️⃣ Main Character Energy is rooted, not dramatic. It's staying with yourself even when the moment feels awkward.

Stigma. Discomfort. High pitched feedback. These are some reasons that people opt out of wearing hearing aids. Yet, hearing loss has been linked to dementia and social isolation, and one-third of Americans aged 70 and older suffer from the condition. Even young people are not immune: 20% of Gen Z suffers from noise-induced hearing problems. We talk about innovations in treating hearing loss. Have you resisted wearing a hearing aid? Guests: Nicholas S. Reed, adjunct associate professor, otolaryngology, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Reed is an audiologist and epidemiologist who has studied the links between hearing loss and dementia Christopher Null, technology journalist, He covers hearing aids for WIRED Dr. Konstantina Stankovic, ear and skull base surgeon and auditory neuroscientist, Stanford Medical School.

This episode is part of the Unavailable for Self-Abandonment series — conversations for women who are done negotiating with themselves.If you've ever wondered why confidence feels solid one moment and shaky the next, especially when things get uncomfortable, this episode will shift everything. Confidence isn't lost in discomfort — it's built there.We're breaking down why discomfort shows up right before growth, how to interpret it correctly, and what to do instead of abandoning yourself the moment things feel unfamiliar. This is about self-trust, nervous system safety, and learning how to stay with yourself long enough for confidence to form.This isn't about pushing harder or fixing yourself.It's about learning how to stay connected to who you already are — especially in the gap.WHAT WE GET INTO✨ Confidence Grows in the GapThe gap — the space between uncomfortable and comfortable — is where most people panic, overthink, and assume something has gone wrong. But that gap is actually the training ground. Discomfort isn't random — it's information.✨ What “Uncomfortable” Is Really SignalingDiscomfort isn't danger. It's your nervous system saying, “This is new. Pay attention.” New boundaries, new standards, new versions of you. Alert doesn't mean incapable — it means unfamiliar.✨ Why Interpretation Is EverythingTwo people can experience the same discomfort and walk away with completely different outcomes. Your interpretation shapes your confidence, your identity, and your future choices. Same sensation — different meaning.✨ The Bridge Between Uncomfortable and ComfortableComfort isn't something you wait for — it's something you create through repetition. Confidence forms when you stay instead of escape long enough for unfamiliar to become familiar.

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.

Your butt is not about aesthetics. It is a longevity organ that directly impacts metabolism, brain optimization, resilience, and how long you stay strong as you age. In this episode, you'll learn why strength training and protein intake matter more than body fat percentage, how mitochondria drive human performance and recovery, and why building muscle protects your brain, stabilizes mood, and supports long-term longevity. This conversation reframes biohacking, anti-aging, and health from weight loss to muscle span, the length of time you live with strong, functional skeletal muscle. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Gabrielle Lyon, an accomplished physician and New York Times bestselling author of Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well, and author of the upcoming The Forever Strong Playbook, releasing January 27, 2026. Dr. Lyon pioneered the Muscle-Centric Medicine® approach, which places muscle at the center of disease prevention, metabolic health, and true vitality. She has trained elite athletes, military operatives, and public figures, while also living this philosophy at home as a mother of two with her husband, a retired Navy SEAL. Together, they break down why intermuscular fat may matter more than body fat percentage, how skeletal muscle drives insulin sensitivity and lowers inflammation, and why becoming physically stronger improves brain function and neuroplasticity. They explore protein needs across the lifespan, fasting, ketosis, carnivore-style nutrition, supplements, sleep optimization, and the real tradeoffs of GLP-1 drugs, including the risk of accelerated muscle loss if strength and protein are neglected. The conversation also covers mindset, hormesis, and why physical resilience creates emotional regulation and clearer decision-making in a world increasingly shaped by AI and convenience. This episode is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking human performance, longevity, mitochondria, neuroplasticity, nootropics, metabolism, functional medicine, anti-aging strategies, supplements, and living Smarter Not Harder, ideally with a cup of Danger Coffee in hand. You'll Learn: • Why your glutes and skeletal muscle are critical drivers of longevity and brain health • Why intermuscular fat can matter more than body fat percentage for metabolic dysfunction • How strength training improves neuroplasticity, cognition, and emotional resilience • Why protein needs increase with age and why outdated limits can hold you back • What GLP-1 drugs get right, where they fail, and how to protect muscle span • Why progressive stimulus beats lifting heavy for long-term strength and injury prevention • How sleep optimization and recovery support mitochondria and human performance • How building muscle creates clarity, resilience, and better decision-making Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

In this episode, Shelby and Laura take listeners behind the scenes of what it actually means to become a professional nurse coach. This is not a conversation about hype or shortcuts. It is a real, nuanced discussion about capacity, confidence, identity shifts, and why being new can feel so disorienting in leadership and entrepreneurship. They unpack why nurse coaching is inherently pioneering work, why confidence can never come before action, and how repetition, community, and regulation are what allow nurse coaches to stay in the game long enough to succeed. This episode normalizes the discomfort of growth and reframes it as a necessary, meaningful part of building a sustainable practice and a new professional identity.Highlights in the discussion:Confidence is built through repetition, not readiness.Discomfort is part of becoming a professional, not a sign to quit.Capacity means staying present with uncertainty without collapsing or overcorrecting.Community matters because it prevents isolation and early burnout.Residency acts as failure insurance, giving nurse coaches support, feedback, and structure while they build real-world experience.Sustainable success comes from staying in the process long enough for competence and self-trust to form.Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7ncLBZ36bW4Mentioned in this episode:Book the callYou don't need more information — you need a container that makes action unavoidable.
