Ep. 219 | [FAVORITE] Why the First Time Through Is Always the Hardest

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

My yoga teacher said something at the end of a brutal sequence that stopped me cold. And I immediately thought of my best friend, who had just started a dream job and was completely falling apart trying to adjust. This episode is about why the first time through anything feels like drowning, and why that's not evidence you made a mistake. It's just evidence that you don't have rhythm yet.  Question to carry into your day: What transition are you in right now where you're still on the first side, and how would it feel to trust that rhythm is coming?  Ready to do this work with real support?
