survival instinct

In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of comfort and why it can sometimes hold us back from living a truly fulfilling life. We discuss the importance of stepping out of our comfort zones and embracing growth, even when it feels uncomfortable.

 

Join us as we share personal anecdotes, insights, and practical tips on navigating the delicate balance between comfort and growth. We'll discuss the role of dopamine in our desire to grow, the art of delegation, and the importance of having a strong "why" to drive our growth.

 

We also give you a sneak peek into our next episode, where we'll be tackling the stressors that often arise during the holidays, particularly when it relates to food. We'll discuss how to navigate food triggers and make a plan to handle them effectively. Trust me, you won't want to miss it!
