What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t a lack of motivation — it’s that you’re too comfortable? This week, Tera sits downwith Dr. Daryl Appleton — award-winning executive coach, high-performance psychologist, and host of the Vogue Top 10 podcast Feelings & Other F Words — for a conversation that will challenge how you think about comfort, fear, success, and the emotional energy you spend before lunch. They unpack why“good enough” might be the most dangerous place to live, how to run an energy audit on your week, and what happens when you finally name the fear that’s been running the show. Plus, Dr. Daryl does the Core Emotion Wheel live — and what she discovers surprises even her.Topics Covered
