In this mini episode of This Daring Adventure, I discuss the concept of change and the necessity of embracing discomfort to achieve meaningful transformation.
The episode explores why many people, particularly women in their 40s and 50s, feel stuck in unfulfilling situations and highlights the importance of pushing through discomfort to create the life they desire.
The host introduces 'Unstuck', a three-month coaching program designed to help women reframe their perceptions of discomfort, build confidence, and take actionable steps toward their goals.
Discomfort is not a sign of failure but rather an essential part of the growth process.

Hey everybody, welcome back to mini episode Monday
2
:on This Daring Adventure.
3
:I hope you had a good
weekend and a belated happy
4
:International Women's Day to you.
5
:So today I wanted to talk about change
and In particular, the price of change.
6
:And while most people will
say they want change, they say
7
:they want to feel confident.
8
:They want to stop second
guessing themselves.
9
:They want to finally take the action that
they say they want to take, or to create
10
:the life that they've been dreaming about.
11
:But, the moment it starts to feel
uncomfortable, they pull back, they
12
:wait, they tell themselves maybe
later, and then later turns into never.
13
:Does this sound familiar?
14
:I see this a lot.
15
:I see women in their 40s and 50s,
brilliant, capable, but feeling stuck.
16
:Stuck in a job that doesn't light them up.
17
:Stuck in a relationship
where they're shrinking.
18
:Stuck in maybe a cycle of overthinking,
people pleasing, not setting boundaries,
19
:and waiting for something to change.
20
:They're stuck in a cycle of looking
to others to validate them, to
21
:appreciate them, to respect them.
22
:But here's the thing.
23
:Waiting doesn't create change.
24
:We have to take action through discomfort.
25
:That's the only thing that's
going to make you move forward.
26
:Discomfort is not a problem.
27
:When you want to create something
new, when you want to go to the next
28
:level, when you want to make big
changes in your life, it's not going
29
:to feel like rainbows and daisies.
30
:It's gonna be uncomfortable
and that's okay.
31
:It doesn't mean anything's gone wrong.
32
:It's not a sign that you should stop.
33
:It's not proof that you're
doing anything wrong.
34
:It's just the cost of the
life you actually want.
35
:Discomfort is the cost of
the life you actually want.
36
:Think about it.
37
:Every transformation you've ever had
has started with discomfort, and it's
38
:included discomfort along the way.
39
:Learning to walk, discomfort.
40
:Learning to ride a bike, discomfort.
41
:Learning to drive a car, discomfort.
42
:Every new level in your life required
you to move through discomfort.
43
:Not avoid it.
44
:But somewhere along the way we
became adults and we thought, ooh,
45
:we shouldn't be feeling this way.
46
:And here's where most people get stuck.
47
:They think that discomfort
means something has gone wrong.
48
:They believe if it's hard, it must
not be meant for them, and they end
49
:up choosing comfort over change.
50
:let me ask you, Where in your life
are you choosing comfort over growth?
51
:you want real transformation, you have to
start seeing discomfort for what it is.
52
:It's a sign that you're on the right path.
53
:You don't get a stronger body
without pushing through the burn
54
:of exercise or lifting weights.
55
:You don't build confidence
without facing fear.
56
:And you don't get unstuck by
waiting until it feels easy.
57
:And this is the work that I
do with my clients in Unstuck.
58
:This is my three month signature coaching
program where I work one to one with
59
:you to rewire the way you think about
discomfort so that instead of running from
60
:it, you use it to fuel your next level.
61
:Because if you're feeling discomfort
right now, it means that you're
62
:on the edge of something big.
63
:You're going in the direction
that you want to go.
64
:And I don't want you to back down.
65
:I've worked with so many women who thought
they were just stuck, who thought they
66
:were just not confident, and who believed
that change wasn't possible for them.
67
:But I believe that it is possible for you.
68
:I believe that if you want
to change, you can do it.
69
:You just haven't learned the
right tools and skills yet.
70
:You haven't had the support
that you've needed yet.
71
:But I can help.
72
:And do you know what happens when you
finally stop waiting for the discomfort
73
:to go away and start moving through it?
74
:Everything shifts.
75
:Everything shifts.
76
:It's like my client, Diane, who
went from staying small in a job
77
:she hated to finally applying
for and landing her dream role.
78
:The fear didn't go away, but
she learned how to move with it.
79
:And it's like Sandra, who had
spent years doubting herself
80
:and relationships, constantly
worrying about what others thought.
81
:But after working together, she set
boundaries for the first time and
82
:reconnected with what she really wants.
83
:And is now feeling more in
control of her life than ever.
84
:So, if you take one thing from
this episode, let it be this.
85
:Discomfort is not the problem.
86
:It's the path.
87
:The life you want, the version
of you that feels confident,
88
:powerful, and fully alive?
89
:She's on the other side
of that discomfort.
90
:Everything you want is on the
other side of that discomfort.
91
:The question is, are you
willing to walk through it?
92
:Because if you're done waiting, if you're
done staying stuck, then now is the time.
93
:I work with women inside my Unstuck
program, my three month coaching program,
94
:where we take everything we talked about
today and actually apply it to your life.
95
:You learn the tools and the skills
you need to get unstuck for good.
96
:And you don't have to do it alone.
97
:You just need the right support.
98
:You need someone to teach
you the right tools.
99
:And someone who's been there
to walk you through it.
100
:And that's where I come in.
101
:So if you're ready to stop
spinning in self doubt, and
102
:finally create real momentum, book
a discovery call with me today.
103
:The link is in the show notes, or you
can DM me on Instagram, and let's talk.
104
:Because staying stuck, that's optional.
105
:But your next level,
that's waiting for you.
106
:So let's go.
107
:I'll see you on the call.
