Last episode I got raw about uncertainty && not having it figured out. This one is the follow-up… because once you admit you've been standing still, the next question is: what does moving actually require? && the honest answer is sometimes it requires doing the shit you don't want to do, whether it feels aligned or not.

TOPICS WE EXPLORE

• Why "does this feel aligned?" can become a very sophisticated excuse
• The difference between discomfort as a message && discomfort as an invitation
• Why discomfort isn't the same as wrong
• Does your behavior match what you say you want?
• The hard && fast rule that keeps our family sane
• Feeling fully alive requires willingly experiencing shit that doesn't feel good
• Love && grief. Ambition && disappointment. Business && selling. You don't get one without the other.
• What I think this next season is actually going to require of me

THE POINT

Somewhere along the way we started treating discomfort as evidence that something is wrong… it isn't. The version of you that goes all in is still in there, and now it's time to resurrect her.
