Podcasts about uncomfortable

There are two sets of priorities in every life: the ones you say you have, and the ones your actions actually reveal. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy names the gap between them and introduces a question that most high achievers are not ready to answer. He calls it the Observer Test: if a complete stranger watched you for a week, with no emotional investment and no excuses to make, how seriously would they say you take your own goals? Darren also walks through the three-step process for closing the Say-Do Gap and explains why people who change their actions rather than lowering their goals are the ones who actually get there.

Send me a some feedback!This episode takes the conversation around giving and receiving to a deeper level. Building on last week's exploration of the five ways we block ourselves from receiving, Mike uncovers the emotional reasons behind those blocks and reveals why so many generous, caring, and successful people struggle to receive support, abundance, love, ease, and opportunity. At the heart of this episode is a powerful realization that emerged while writing Mike's upcoming book, Built to Give. Rebuilt to Receive. The issue is rarely the external circumstance. More often, we block goodness from entering our lives because we're unconsciously trying to avoid certain feelings. Understanding these emotions becomes the key to becoming a better receiver and experiencing a higher quality of life. Key Takeaways1. We often block goodness from entering our lives to avoid uncomfortable feelings. The challenge isn't usually receiving itself. It's the emotions that receiving might trigger inside of us. 2. Seven core emotions frequently drive our resistance to receiving. Selfishness, being a burden, judgment, rejection, shame, superiority, and disappointment often sit beneath our unwillingness to receive support, abundance, love, and opportunity. 3. Over-givers often delay permission to receive. Many people spend their lives giving, serving, helping, and supporting others while continuously postponing their own turn to receive. 4. Avoiding emotions keeps them alive. What we resist persists. The path to freedom isn't avoiding uncomfortable emotions but learning how to move into, through, and beyond them. 5. The path to becoming a better receiver is making the uncomfortable comfortable. Growth happens when we willingly feel the emotions we've spent our lives trying to avoid. The more comfortable we become with those feelings, the easier it becomes to receive life fully. Notable Quotes "The greatest lie ever told is that it's better to give than receive."  "The reason we block goodness from flowing into our life is to avoid a feeling."  "The wealthiest, happiest, most successful people I know are easy receivers."  "Whatever you resist persists. Whatever you feel heals."  "The way to heal is into the discomfort and through it." Call to ActionIf this episode resonated with you, spend a few moments reflecting on which of the seven emotions shows up most often in your life. Is it the fear of being selfish? The fear of judgment? The fear of rejection, shame, disappointment, or being a burden?Awareness is the first step.Once you understand what you're trying to avoid, you can begin the process of moving through it instead of organizing your life around it.If you're ready to do this work at a deeper level, join Mike for the upcoming Built to Give, Rebuilt to Receive Workshop on August 28–29 just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, where you'll learn how to identify and release the blocks that keep you from fully receiving life.

Text us a comment or question!Have you ever noticed that nobody seems to care when you're making unhealthy choices... But the moment you start getting healthier, everyone suddenly has an opinion? "One cookie won't hurt." "Come on, live a little." "You're obsessed." "You've changed." Sound familiar? In this eye-opening episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin explores one of the most overlooked challenges in health and fitness - the social pressure that shows up when you start improving yourself. Why do friends, coworkers, and even family members sometimes react negatively when you begin eating better, exercising, losing weight, or prioritizing your health? The answer has very little to do with food... And a lot to do with human psychology. If you've ever felt like people got weird when you started getting healthy, this episode will help you understand exactly what's happening - and why you shouldn't take it personally. You'll Learn✅ Why healthy choices often trigger unexpected reactions✅ How to handle criticism without taking it personally✅ Why your transformation challenges the people around you✅ The difference between support and sabotage✅ Why growth often feels lonely before it feels normal✅ How to build a tribe that supports your goals Key TakeawayMost people think getting healthy is about food and exercise. It's not. At least not entirely. Getting healthy is an identity transformation. And whenever someone changes their identity, it disrupts the expectations of the people around them. The resistance you're experiencing isn't proof you're doing something wrong. It's often proof you're growing. The TruthYou don't need permission to get healthy.You don't need permission to get stronger.You don't need permission to become the person you're capable of becoming.And sometimes...The people who question your growth today will be asking for your advice tomorrow. If you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Follow the show⭐ Leave a 5-star review⭐ Share this episode with someone who's trying to improve their health⭐ And remember...Growth doesn't require everyone's approval. It only requires your commitment.

Uncomfortable Passing

What if the discomfort you're feeling isn't a sign you're lost—but proof you're finally getting closer to who you really are?In this fascinating conversation, Kellan sits down with entrepreneur and former skeptic Michael Lovitch to explore a journey that challenged everything he thought he knew about science, intuition, identity, and human potential.After spending decades rooted in research, academic hypnosis, and evidence-based thinking, Michael encountered experiences he couldn't explain away. What followed was an unexpected exploration into frequency, sound, intuition, self-awareness, and the hidden ways people become disconnected from their authentic selves.This episode isn't about blind belief. It's about curiosity, personal experience, and the courage to question the stories you've been taught about who you're supposed to be.If you've ever felt like you're living someone else's life, suppressing parts of yourself, or struggling to trust your own intuition, this conversation may challenge everything you thought you knew.Key Takeaways:Why authenticity often feels uncomfortableThe difference between conditioning and true identityMichael's transformation from skeptic to explorerAcademic rigor versus personal experienceAstrology, intuition, and self-discoveryThe role of sound and frequency in self-awarenessWhy many people suppress who they really areLearning to trust your inner compassThe power of intuition in decision-makingHow society pressures people to conformAccepting your uniqueness instead of hiding itFinding freedom in being fully yourselfCreating space to notice and connect with othersThe relationship between self-awareness and purposeWhy embracing your "weirdness" can change your life

Our Monday Mindset Episode for today is about Discomfort is not your enemy, it's your evidence. We open with a raw teaching memory: a first day in front of students, every word scripted, terrified of getting it wrong and being exposed. If you've ever tried a new lesson, a new routine, or a new approach and immediately thought, “That was messy, so I should never do it again,” you'll feel seen here. We dig into why our brains chase certainty, how perfectionism sneaks into classroom decisions, and why the shaky moments often mean you're right at the edge of real growth. If this helps, subscribe, share it with a teacher friend, and leave a quick review so more educators can find it.

Comfort Zone – Could it be the Kill Zone for Your Success? What would drive a person to achieve if they are comfortable, ok, average? Could “good” be the enemy of Great? What if we train our body to get out of our comfort zone by doing something every day that is “Uncomfortable", could we get into habit of wanting to challenge, test or put our body under pressure?

Feeling uncomfortable when you try to change something is not a sign you are doing it wrong. It is a sign your brain is working exactly as designed. Amanda, Brooke, and Kelly get into the biology and psychology behind why behavior change is so hard, why your brain is literally wired to talk you out of new habits, and why friction is not the same thing as failure. They cover productive discomfort versus the kind of discomfort that is actually a red flag, why people quit new things too soon, the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth one, and how to build the kind of resilience that actually makes habits stick. This is not an episode about pushing through pain. It is an episode about understanding why this feels hard and building something that can handle it anyway.

When's the last time you were UNCOMFORTABLE, OR PUT YOURSELF IN A POSITION TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE in your work? Discomfort = growth, and comfort = stagnation. The people doing the most growing are the ones that submit to spiritual and personal growth, like having a group of fellow Christ followers, who challenge them and hold them accountable, in their professional life, their leadership and business. You know what they say, if you're not growing, you're dying. The wisdom of Proverbs 27:17 says As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. John Maxwell said it best: If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.  What will YOU do this week, in your professional life, to be challenged and GROW? 

When Olga Chaikouskaya arrived in the United States at the beginning of her career, there were several obstacles standing in her way. She spoke no English, had no money, and faced perhaps her biggest career barrier: she didn't know how much she didn't know. Now, after twenty years of financial experience across an array of industries, Olga reflects on that transition as a lesson in becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable. Two of the most powerful lessons she learned along the way were:  breaking free from the boundaries we place on ourselves and recognizing that mistakes are a necessary part of growth and learning.

Podcast Show NotesGet Comfortable with the Uncomfortable: Surviving Testicular Cancer at 43 with Resilience and Martial Arts We often hear that testicular cancer is a "young man's disease," but cancer doesn't always play by the rules. In this episode, we welcome Mark Vidic, a 43-year-old martial arts instructor from Toronto, who shares his powerful story of diagnosis, treatment, and an incredible life after cancer. Mark takes us through the early signs of unusual back and shoulder pain, plus the challenges of getting a proper diagnosis when multiple doctors thought he was too old for the disease. He discusses how his 30+ years of studying Combat Ju-Jitsu prepared him mentally and physically to face 90 days of intense chemotherapy, and how he turned his time in the hospital waiting rooms into a mission to encourage and uplift younger patients. Tune in to hear Mark's story of family support, a surprise natural pregnancy after fertility struggles, and his upcoming mission to give back to the hospital that saved his life. Key Takeaways from This Episode:Listen to Your Body: Mark's earliest symptoms showed up as persistent lower back and shoulder pain before he ever felt a lump. If something feels off, don't wait—skip "Dr. Google" and seek professional medical advice immediately. Build Your Resilience: Embracing physical and mental challenges before a crisis hits builds the "inner iron" needed to face difficulties like chemotherapy. The Power of a Support System: From a partner who pushes you to keep moving to a community of fellow patients, nobody has to navigate a cancer diagnosis alone. Beating the Odds: Despite fertility readings pointing to "subfertile" results post-chemo, Mark and his wife Christine are joyfully expecting a baby boy this September. Links & Resources Mentioned:Learn more about the Foundation: The Max Mallory FoundationMark's Favorite Song: "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals Connect With Us:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and leave a review on your favorite podcast directory.

Most people have questions about estate planning and elder law—but some questions feel too awkward, uncomfortable, or even embarrassing to ask out loud. In this episode of Aging Starts Now, host Dana Hentschel sits down with Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law & Estate Planning associate attorney Josh Hunter to tackle the questions people often save for private consultations or ask only after everyone else has left the room. Together, they discuss: • Can I pay myself for serving as someone's attorney-in-fact? • Can I make gifts to myself under a Power of Attorney? • Can an executor pay themselves? • Does an executor have to follow the will exactly? • What happens when everyone agrees the will is unfair? • Must a trustee always follow the trust's instructions? • What if a trustee believes the trust is making a bad decision? • Can an attorney-in-fact hand the job off to someone else? • What if I don't want to serve as attorney-in-fact, trustee, or executor? • Can I be sued for serving in one of these roles? If you've ever been named in a Power of Attorney, trust, or will—or if you're considering who should serve in those positions—this episode provides practical answers to some of the most misunderstood responsibilities in estate planning.

What do you do when you've made the decision, said the prayer, set the intention, but the results haven't arrived yet?In this episode of Inspire Create Manifest, Joe explores what he calls The Uncomfortable Middle.The space between where you are and where you're going.The space between the prayer and the answer.The intention and the manifestation.The decision and the result.Using powerful examples from Abraham, Peter walking on water, David facing Goliath, and the faith of a mustard seed, Joe shares why most people don't fail because they aren't capable. They quit because the middle feels uncertain.If you've been waiting for proof before taking action, this episode is an invitation to trust the next step, even when you can't see the entire path.Because sometimes the thing you're asking for is waiting on the other side of the step you're afraid to take.

SITTING IN THE UNCOMFORTABLE MIXED WITH 'WHAT IS THE NAUGHTIEST THING YOU DID AS A CHILD? The last year has been turbulent. That's probably the most honest word for it. I've been running United ArtSpace for ten years, and for six of those years I had a repeatable system that just worked. Launches, events, rinse and repeat. But something was different. The online world changed. I changed. And for the last twelve months I've been sitting in this uncomfortable, uncharted place of not quite knowing what comes next. I know a lot of you are sitting in that same place right now. I see it across friends in business and artists too. And I just want to say if that's you, you're not alone and you're not broken. You're in the exploratory phase. The messy middle. The part that comes before things click back into place. In our Creative Way process, we call this the creative cycle. You start confused, you explore, you experiment and eventually, things start to take shape again. I'm very much in the exploring stage right now. Saying yes to things I wouldn't usually say yes to. Litter picking in my local community. A retreat. Working with corporates like Nestlé and Harrods on confidence and speaking. Things that feel a bit left field but keep pulling me back to the same thread: helping people grow confidence in themselves and their work. And slowly, that's shaping what Creative Living is becoming. Now. The Naughty Stories. I put the question out on socials and the response was something else. I asked, what is the naughtiest thing you have done as a child, listen to the responses in the podcast as they are FUNNY. If you want to share your story, click here: >> FACEBOOK  >> INSTAGRAM

Before Recovery Rocks, Anna hosted Recover Girl, where conversations about addiction and recovery were less “before-and-after success story” and more “let's unpack the human condition for 45 minutes.” This Thursday Throwback features musician Moby in one of the most thoughtful recovery conversations we've ever aired. Moby talks about getting sober at 22 after years of chaotic drinking and drug use, throwing legendary degenerate parties in New York, relapsing after eight years of “insufferably sober” Christianity and eventually realizing AA wasn't just a clubhouse for drunks — it was a spiritual program. The conversation goes everywhere: anonymity, ego, relapse, judgment, fear, God, hangovers in your 40s, why intelligent people resist AA and why two glasses of wine with dinner sounds completely pointless to a real alcoholic. Basically: if you've ever rolled your eyes at recovery clichés while secretly needing them anyway, this episode is for you.

The obstacles getting in the way of health goals are rarely as immovable as they feel from a distance.   Uncomfortable to face sometimes.   But almost never as hard as the version being built up in the mind.   The resistance lives mostly in the anticipation.   Once you are actually in it the path tends to open up faster than expected.   Facing the uncomfortable thing is almost always more manageable than continuing to work around it.

The idea of worship is simple. Uncomplicated. When you think about it, worship is ascribing worth to someone or something. As people of faith, we ascribe to God the worth, praise and adoration that He is due. But worship that intersects with industry and organizations is inherently complicated. That doesn't mean it's wrong. That the worship industry is wrong or all mega church worship is unbiblical. What it means that it's complicated and it's worth the wrestle. Today's guest is Anna Golden – a worship leader, songwriter, and artist. Anna is a worship leader at Shoreline City Church in Dallas and has a wonderful new worship album out called Just Us. My favorite song on the project is called Uncomplicated – and that's what I wanted to talk with Anna about. In what ways have we complicated worship individually and corporately? What are the current tensions within the worship industry? We discuss tools and tips for worship leaders. And as a bonus, we both talk about our background as homeschoolers raised in the church and how that has shaped who we are today. Topics Covered: The oddities of growing up homeschooled Anna’s faith tradition growing up Valuable skills worship leaders learn from Pentecostal traditions What my homeschool journey looked like The tension of ministry and money The story behind Anna’s new record How we complicate faith and following Jesus Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Dwell Bible (use link for 50% off) Show Sponsor: Planning Center Just Us by Anna Golden Show Sponsor: Dwell Bible This episode is brought to you by dwell bible app. In our busy lives finding quiet moments to read the Bible can be challenging. I get it. Traditional, reading focused apps demand undivided attention.

And that's where Dwell Bible app comes in, offering a unique way to engage with Scripture. Unlike reading apps, Dwell is audio-based. It allows the truth of Scripture to be read over you throughout your day. Imagine hearing the Bible while driving to work or running in the park or cooking dinner.

Planning Center has become so essential to how I manage a team, that it's almost impossible to consider local church ministry without it anymore. Today, I want to leave you with a PCO pro-tip. Does this sound like a familiar situation? It's the end of the week. You're about to leave the office when you suddenly think: Did all of our volunteers confirm for Sunday? You scroll through the schedule and sure enough—there's a gap. Instead of allowing yourself to spiral into a panic, try this: In Services, Planning Center has gap alerts. Turn them on, and you'll get a heads-up days before service if positions are still unfilled or unconfirmed. No more end of the week scrambling.

Jonathan opens up about the pressure of cooking alongside his brother Brandon, shares his unfiltered thoughts on the controversial challenges, and reveals why he was surprised to find himself on the bottom. He also discusses Sieger's heated Judges' Table confrontation, calling the moment "very uncomfortable," explains what viewers didn't see from the exchange, weighs in on Rhoda's eventual victory, and reveals whether he'd return to the Top Chef kitchen for another shot at the title.

The obstacles that keep showing up in a health journey are rarely as immovable as they feel from a distance.   Uncomfortable to face sometimes.   Worth avoiding sometimes.   But almost never as hard as the version being built up in your head.   Getting curious about what an obstacle is pointing at changes the relationship with it entirely.   The path forward tends to open up the moment you stop circling and start facing what has been waiting there.

Beth Rodden is one of the most influential climbers of her generation—known for major Yosemite free climbing, multiple free ascents on El Capitan, and routes that helped push standards forward. I came into this conversation expecting more about training, aging, and climbing goals. Instead, Beth took us somewhere rarer: the inner work behind the highlight reel. She speaks with a kind of directness that's almost unfamiliar—about self-doubt, insecurity, injury, and what it feels like to be seen as “strong” while still living a very human life. This episode is about the essential skill most people avoid: telling the truth clearly, dropping the performance, and letting your real experience be part of the story—not just the version that looks good from the outside. Kyrgyzstan context (mentioned later in the episode): In 2000, Beth was kidnapped at gunpoint in Kyrgyzstan with Tommy Caldwell and two other climbers and held for six days before escaping. In this episode, we talk about: The “superhuman” myth in climbing—and why it never matched Beth's lived experience  Self-doubt and excellence living in the same body  Injury, identity shifts, and what happens when you can't rely on performance  How honesty changes relationships (and what it costs)  Why Beth's story resonates beyond climbingBeth's authenticity is rare in this world.

Renee shares how women can stop shrinking to keep other people comfortable, how to know when your work is passion versus avoidance, and why the right partner, friends, mentors, and community can either expand your vision or quietly hold you back.We also talk about motherhood, outsourcing, buying back your time, networking in a new city, and becoming the kind of woman who supports other women without jealousy, comparison, or weird competitive energy.Connect with Renée below:Website is hereInstagram is herePink Skirt Project (event is July 9th & 10th in Kelowna, BC) is hereOUR GGW MERCH LAUNCHES JUNE 16TH!

This chapter challenges Christians to think differently about holiness, identity, and how we live in the body. In this verse-by-verse Bible study, we discuss: Why believers should seek wisdom and reconciliation instead of lawsuits against one another The kinds of lifestyles that keep people from inheriting the kingdom of God What Paul means when he says, "such were some of you" Being washed, sanctified, and justified through Christ Christian freedom and its proper limits The seriousness of sexual sin Why our bodies are members of Christ What it means that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit "You were bought with a price" and how that changes the Christian life This chapter reminds us that salvation is not merely about forgiveness—it is also about transformation. Because believers belong to Christ, they are called to honor God not only with their beliefs, but with their bodies, choices, and daily conduct.

Across school campuses and communities, students and educators are discovering how listening, curiosity, and everyday conversations can open pathways across differences and help restore a sense of shared humanity.Summary: How do we learn to truly communicate with people who are deeply different than us? In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we follow students and educators practicing the skills of empathy and courageous listening in classrooms and on the road. Their experiences reveal how intentional conversations can open unexpected pathways toward understanding and shared humanity.How To Do This Practice: Observe Before You Interpret: Spend a few minutes noticing the environment around you and ask yourself: What do people here see, hear, say, think, and need? Approach with Curiosity: Start with simple human connection—small talk, a question about their day, or genuine interest in their community. Signal That You're There to Listen: Make it clear your goal is understanding, not persuading, debating, or changing anyone's mind. Practice Democratic Listening: Give your full attention through eye contact, nodding, and brief acknowledgments, while resisting the urge to agree, disagree, or jump in with your own views. Stay Relaxed Through Discomfort: When differences emerge, maintain "relaxed awareness"—remaining open, attentive, and calm rather than defensive or reactive. Reflect and Learn: Afterward, ask yourself: What helped create connection? What got in the way? What might I try differently next time?

Susan MacKenty Brady is a leadership educator, executive coach, bestselling author, and the founding CEO of the Simmons University Institute for Inclusive Leadership. At Simmons she holds the Deloitte Elen Garbriel Chair for Women and Leadership and has advised executives at over 500 organizations worldwide. She is co-author of All the Difference: Six Leadership Actions to Bridge Perspectives, Strengthen Teams, and Create Value with Stuart D. Kilman and Lt. Gen (Ret) Leslie C. Smith. Uncomfortable stuff, organizational issues that have been “on my heart.” That is how Susan opens this interview, mentioning how everything from the evolving role of women on the job to five generations of employees to the advent of AI is roiling the business world as much as it's ever been turbulent and, frankly, agitated and anxious. From the call to Know Yourself to Ignite Togetherness and Commit to Action, this episode explores target actions where the biggest interpersonal sin is to dismiss the dignity of the world you're talking to just because they can pull rank or fail to apply empathy. Emotions “bring the weather,” Susan says, in a discussion that highlights her suggestion that certainty, inconsistency, reactivity, and (self) justification are the landmines that will get you –and others – blown up because curiosity as to what is happening to others and how they can be their best self has got lost in the mix.Real Transformations: Business Change That Works from the Inside Out is co-hosted by Julie Anixter and Dan Hill, PhD, entrepreneurs with deep experience as corporate change agents, devoted to helping companies make continuous change work for everyone through clarity and connection.

Robust demand from pensions and insurance companies will support corporate debt through macroeconomic headwinds and record supply, according to Goldman Sachs. “Spreads are tight to the prewar levels when the facts on the ground have unquestionably become more challenging,” Amanda Lynam, Goldman’s chief credit strategist, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Robert Schiffman in the latest Credit Edge podcast. “That is this uncomfortable tension that we have in the credit market,” Lynam says. “Sentiment around the yield-based buyer is really in the driver’s seat.” They also discuss the AI funding boom, private-credit risks, CCC underperformance and where to find value in structured products.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Pastors Matt, Jeremy, Jake, and Luke dive deeper into Sunday's sermon on Acts 10:1–11:18 — one of the longest continuous narratives in the entire book of Acts (66 verses!). Why did Luke dedicate so much space to the conversion of Cornelius? And what does it mean for us today? In this episode: Why the Cornelius account is a major turning point in Acts — and in all of church history The "But God" moments hidden in this passage (and throughout Scripture) The religious categories of the first century: pagan Gentile → God-fearer → proselyte → ethnic Jew What Peter's mini-sermon in Acts 10:34–43 reveals about the core essentials of the gospel Surprising parallels between Roman military discipline and the Christian life What "uncomfortable obedience" looks like across every stage of life A Bible reading plan check-in: finishing Job and entering the books of Wisdom and Poetry Key Verse: "God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean." — Acts 10:28
