What if the very thing you’re avoiding is the key to your next level of growth?
In this episode of Lead Like a Girl, Coralyn, Jessica, and Jamie dig into the power of discomfort — why leaning into the hard, awkward, or uncertain moments can actually build our strength, confidence, and resilience. From personal stories about taking on uncomfortable challenges to insights on how stress and recovery drive growth, this conversation is a reminder that the good stuff often starts right outside your comfort zone.
Together, they explore how modern life’s “creature comforts” can quietly dull our edge — and how small, intentional steps toward discomfort can reawaken our courage, grit, and adaptability.
