Ep 028: Embracing the “Stretch” as a Conscious Act of Transformation.

from The Designed Life · host Hollis M. M.

This is the first of a few new kickoff episodes marking a new chapter of the Design Life Podcast! Beginning with this episode, I'm shedding some of the how-to vibes and incorporating more of the messy, magical world of personal storytelling. You can find me here (nervously but willingly) exploring what it means to grow through discomfort — from the high-stakes (buying a home with my partner) to the deeply personal (saying goodbye to my family’s home in Mexico) to the deceptively small (dragging myself to yoga or daring to initiate a vulnerable convo instead of stewing in silent resentment).I'm talking about stretching in all its forms — the impulsive childhood leaps, the adult-style calculated risks, and the daily "ugh-I-don’t-wanna-but-I-know-it’s-good-for-me" moments. Consider this your official invite to stretch with me — edges, feelings, and all!Mentioned:TDL Ep 012: Creating HomePrevention as a Practice Substack
