Inside Job

159: I Think It Would Be Good If


Listen Later

Do you have to hurt in order to grow?

Eric’s experience with “trauma with a lowercase T” during a recent race kicks off our conversation about how to get outside our comfort zones in a way that is good and constructive as opposed to causing us to always feel unsatisfied or stressed.

Pushing yourself to try new things, gain new skills, and grow in various other ways isn’t a bad thing. However, it can quickly start doing more harm than good. So, how do you know where the line is? How do you know when discomfort equals growth and when it crosses into the territory of “trauma with a lowercase T”?

Take a listen to this week’s episode to hear how we handle these types of situations when they come up in our own lives and in our work with our clients.

Listen in and join the discussion about waiting on LinkedIn (Eric | Nayla).

Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.
