Nuance Needed

26. Your Fear of Discomfort is Keeping You Stuck


Listen Later

Tired of understanding all your patterns but still feeling stuck? In this episode, we're diving into the uncomfortable truth about why all that self-help content and therapy insight isn't actually changing your life.

In conversation, we tackle:

  • Why being "the self-aware friend" might be your newest form of avoidance
  • How instant access to information is making us worse at solving our own problems
  • Why validation without action is just spicy procrastination
  • The uncomfortable truth about why therapy isn't just about feeling seen
  • What your endless TikTok scrolling says about your fear of change
  • How technology is teaching us to avoid sitting with hard emotions
  • Why waiting to feel "ready" means waiting forever
  • The difference between productive discomfort and tolerating what needs to change
  • Practical steps for moving from understanding to action
