Comfort Is Holding You Back

Why are we constantly trying to make ourselves more comfortable, and is that actually a good thing? This week, we’re talking about our relationship with discomfort: why we avoid the things we know are good for us, what discipline has to do with it, and how learning to tolerate uncomfortable emotions shows up everywhere from running and health to parenting, relationships, and business. We also get into emotional regulation, why we’re so quick to rescue our kids from hard feelings, and the difference between discomfort that’s telling you something isn’t right and discomfort that might actually be worth moving through. Maybe comfort isn’t the problem. Maybe it’s how much we’re willing to sacrifice to avoid being uncomfortable. Follow us on Instagram: @that.intentionalmama @runnerdad.life
