Episode 14. What if the discomfort you’re feeling isn’t a sign to stop but an invitation to grow?
In this episode, we explore the concept of Intentional Discomfort - the practice of willingly stepping into discomfort as a tool for meaningful, lasting change.

You’ll discover:

• Why discomfort isn’t the same as danger, and how understanding the difference can unlock courage during uncertain transitions.
  
  
• How viewing discomfort as temporary helps you stay grounded and resilient through the ups and downs of career change.
  
  
• How to make discomfort productive, using it as fuel for learning, creativity, and reinvention.

Whether you’re pivoting into a new role, starting fresh in a new field, or questioning your next professional step, this episode will help you reframe discomfort as progress not pain.
