374. {Bite-Sized Episode} Being a Beginner (On Purpose) as an Adult

from To Your Health · host Esther Avant

When's the last time you did something new as an adult (without being forced)?In this episode, I talk about what it’s been like to intentionally be a beginner again, using my recent (very humbling) return to the pool as the example.I share why so many of us avoid being new at things once we’re adults, how that avoidance limits us, and why choosing discomfort on purpose can build confidence, empathy, and resilience.If there’s something you’ve been curious about but keep telling yourself it’s “too late” or that you “missed the boat,” this episode is an invitation to rethink that and to give yourself permission to be bad at something while you learn.Tune in each week for practical, relatable advice that helps you feel your best and unlock your full potential. If you’re ready to prioritize your health and level up every area of your life, you’ll find the tools, insights, and inspiration right here. Check out Esther’s website for more about her speaking, coaching, book, and more: http://estheravant.com/Buy Esther’s Book: To Your Health: https://a.co/d/iDG68qUEsther’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/esther.avantEsther’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/estheravant/Learn more about 1:1 health & weight loss coaching: https://madebymecoaching.com/coaching
