What if the discomfort you're avoiding is the very thing that could change you? In this episode, Sarah and Laura dive into what it really means to be uncomfortable—and why it matters. From emotional growth to boredom, relational tension to chronic pain, they explore how discomfort shows up in our lives, and how learning to sit with it can lead to deeper healing, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of self. They also reflect on the difference between discomfort and lack of safety, and how our fast-paced culture may be robbing us of the growth discomfort can bring.
