In today’s episode, I’m talking about something we all avoid but secretly need: being uncomfortable. From missing home to stepping into new seasons of life, discomfort shows up in so many ways — but it’s also where real growth happens. I dive into why comfort feels like control, why discomfort feels like chaos, and how society glamorises glow-ups while skipping the messy middle that actually builds us.

If you’ve been scared to take the next step, start something new, or sit with feelings that don’t make sense yet, this episode is your reminder that discomfort isn’t a sign to stop — it’s a sign you’re evolving. Let yourself grow, even when it feels messy.
