Moving through discomfort

Hey everybody, welcome back to mini episode Monday on This Daring Adventure. I hope you had a good weekend and a belated happy International Women's Day to you. So today I wanted to talk about change and In particular, the price of change. And while most people will say they want change, they say they want to feel confident. They want to stop second guessing themselves. They want to finally take the action that they say they want to take, or to create the life that they've been dreaming about. But, the moment it starts to feel uncomfortable, they pull back, they wait, they tell themselves maybe later, and then later turns into never. Does this sound familiar? I see this a lot. I see women in their 40s and 50s, brilliant, capable, but feeling stuck. Stuck in a job that doesn't light them up. Stuck in a relationship where they're shrinking. Stuck in maybe a cycle of overthinking, people pleasing, not setting boundaries, and waiting for something to change. They're stuck in a cycle of looking to others to validate them, to appreciate them, to respect them. But here's the thing. Waiting doesn't create change. We have to take action through discomfort. That's the only thing that's going to make you move forward. Discomfort is not a problem. When you want to create something new, when you want to go to the next level, when you want to make big changes in your life, it's not going to feel like rainbows and daisies. It's gonna be uncomfortable and that's okay. It doesn't mean anything's gone wrong. It's not a sign that you should stop. It's not proof that you're doing anything wrong. It's just the cost of the life you actually want. Discomfort is the cost of the life you actually want. Think about it. Every transformation you've ever had has started with discomfort, and it's included discomfort along the way. Learning to walk, discomfort. Learning to ride a bike, discomfort. Learning to drive a car, discomfort. Every new level in your life required you to move through discomfort. Not avoid it. But somewhere along the way we became adults and we thought, ooh, we shouldn't be feeling this way. And here's where most people get stuck. They think that discomfort means something has gone wrong. They believe if it's hard, it must not be meant for them, and they end up choosing comfort over change. let me ask you, Where in your life are you choosing comfort over growth? you want real transformation, you have to start seeing discomfort for what it is. It's a sign that you're on the right path. You don't get a stronger body without pushing through the burn of exercise or lifting weights. You don't build confidence without facing fear. And you don't get unstuck by waiting until it feels easy. And this is the work that I do with my clients in Unstuck. This is my three month signature coaching program where I work one to one with you to rewire the way you think about discomfort so that instead of running from it, you use it to fuel your next level. Because if you're feeling discomfort right now, it means that you're on the edge of something big. You're going in the direction that you want to go. And I don't want you to back down. I've worked with so many women who thought they were just stuck, who thought they were just not confident, and who believed that change wasn't possible for them. But I believe that it is possible for you. I believe that if you want to change, you can do it. You just haven't learned the right tools and skills yet. You haven't had the support that you've needed yet. But I can help. And do you know what happens when you finally stop waiting for the discomfort to go away and start moving through it? Everything shifts. Everything shifts. It's like my client, Diane, who went from staying small in a job she hated to finally applying for and landing her dream role. The fear didn't go away, but she learned how to move with it. And it's like Sandra, who had spent years doubting herself and relationships, constantly worrying about what others thought. But after working together, she set boundaries for the first time and reconnected with what she really wants. And is now feeling more in control of her life than ever. So, if you take one thing from this episode, let it be this. Discomfort is not the problem. It's the path. The life you want, the version of you that feels confident, powerful, and fully alive? She's on the other side of that discomfort. Everything you want is on the other side of that discomfort. The question is, are you willing to walk through it? Because if you're done waiting, if you're done staying stuck, then now is the time. I work with women inside my Unstuck program, my three month coaching program, where we take everything we talked about today and actually apply it to your life. You learn the tools and the skills you need to get unstuck for good. And you don't have to do it alone. You just need the right support. You need someone to teach you the right tools. And someone who's been there to walk you through it. And that's where I come in. So if you're ready to stop spinning in self doubt, and finally create real momentum, book a discovery call with me today. The link is in the show notes, or you can DM me on Instagram, and let's talk. Because staying stuck, that's optional. But your next level, that's waiting for you. So let's go. I'll see you on the call.
