This week, we’re talking about the moments that stretch us — the ones we resist, fear, avoid… and then end up changing us in the best possible ways.

Elyse makes a confession about something she never thought she’d do (and how saying “yes” surprised everyone, including herself).

We talk about the tiny acts of bravery that expand us, the takeout-dinner debate that was supposed to be deleted, and one unforgettable travel tip.

Plus: Elyse discovered a little piece of writing while recording and shares “Go Out & Come Back In” — a way to appreciate what’s right in front of you.

Segments:

• ​David’s and Elyse’s confession (and why it was a turning point)
• ​The takeout story that was not a debate at all.
• ​A travel moment that was a surprise to both of us
• ​“Go Out & Come Back In” — short piece of writing that happened to match this episode perfectly

This episode is warm, encouraging, and the perfect reminder that surprising yourself might be the most important part of growing.
