What if discomfort is the point?
In this episode of 68 Cups of Blueberry Tea, I sit down with Birgit Hermann - leadership coach, author, freediver, and ultramarathoner - to explore why she repeatedly places herself in environments where comfort disappears.
From the Sahara desert to arctic ice to high-stakes leadership rooms. Birgit shares what endurance has taught her about clarity, courage, and staying steady under pressure.
This isn’t a conversation about achievements.
It’s about the psychology of choosing discomfort - what it reveals, what it costs, and how bold impact truly begins.
