Using powerful analogies about leaving the cave and removing thorns, Alex discusses the fear that comes with positive change, why discomfort is part of the healing process, and how to stay committed to your transformation when you want to run back to what's safe. If you've ever made progress only to slip back into old habits, this episode will help you understand why—and how to move forward.
