Why We Stay: Understanding the Pull of the Familiar, Even When It Hurts

In today's episode, we're talking about why we stay and the pull of the familiar, even when it hurts. As humans, we find comfort in familiarity. Our brains are wired for survival, and we LIKE what's comfortable and safe, even when it's actually the opposite of that. The pull of the familiar is SO strong, but it's not unbreakable. With curiosity, bravery, and support, it's totally possible to step out of what's comfortable and into something better.Change can be scary, friend, but this is also where growth happens (believe me - I know this ALL too well).
