Episode 4: Discomfort is good - It's means you're growing!

Uncomfortable? Good. You’re Growing.

We’re BACK after a looong break (life was life-ing, the sun came out, and we needed it🤣).

This time, we’re switching it up – recording on video for the first time ever!

🎙️ We talk about:

- Why comfort feels good – but can secretly hold you back

- Balancing rest vs. growth (and when each is actually productive)

- The myth of the “fearless” entrepreneur – and why everyone feels cringe

- Building willpower like a muscle (shoutout to the anterior mid-cingulate cortex iykyk😝)

- Dilemma Time: How do you pick a niche without boxing yourself in?

This one’s for anyone chasing growth but unsure if the discomfort is worth it. (It is.)
