189: Growing Pains

We are tackling the real, sometimes messy journey of growing. We dive into how a strong community pushes us to be better and how finding the right books and resources can totally change the way we learn. We also have to admit that real growth isn't always easy; it actually requires us to step into uncomfortable situations that cause friction and conflict. Our brains are naturally wired to avoid pain and stay comfortable, but if we just stop growing, we end up sitting back, becoming stagnant, and getting critical of others. Finally, we share how you can use "habit stacking" to build small, everyday routines that help us truly change the way we live. THE SHOW NOTES Thanks for being a part of our podcast community!
