38. Am I Just Too Comfy to Try Anything New?

I share how my comfort zone turned into stagnancy, the boundary that set me free, and the small steps that brought curiosity and growth back ________ My mornings all looked the same. The book. The coffee. The cosy spot on the porch I love. It was peaceful. Restorative. Safe. But somewhere between "just one more chapter" and deciding not to make that trip into the city… my life was starting to feel smaller. In this episode of Who Do You Think You Are Talking To, I share how I realised my comfort zone had quietly turned into stagnancy, and the moment I saw that what I thought was self-care was actually self-sabotage. From skipping plans with a new friend to telling myself the weather was a reason to stay home, I unpack the real emotions behind my choices and the fear I didn't want to admit. I'll walk you through my Trigger, Pause, Respond method, the one boundary that changed everything, and why small, consistent steps are the key to lasting change. If you've ever looked up and thought, "When did I stop saying yes to life?", this episode will help you find your way back to curiosity, connection, and growth.
