Ep. 177 - Pick Your Hard: The Brain Science of Doing the Uncomfortable

from Fewer Things Better · host Kristin Graham

We'd love to hear from you!The path we want isn’t always the easiest one. Our brains are wired to seek comfort and avoid risk. It’s a survival instinct—but it also keeps us stuck. Growth often asks us to lean into what feels uncomfortable—whether that’s having a hard conversation, starting something new, or pushing through resistance. In this episode, we’ll talk about why discomfort is often a sign of progress, not a signal to stop.  Show Notes:Episode 171: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1939447/episodes/17632581-ep-171-the-kindest-words-never-said-showing-up-when-it-matters.mp3?download=true
