The Discomfort Zone

Ep #18 Cindy Frost on Firefighting, Hiking the AT and How to Make Powerful Choices


Listen Later

Handling discomfort in high pressure situations can be challenging, and Cindy Frost, a lieutenant in the Austin Fire Department and avid adventurer, shares insights on how to respond powerfully.

We talk about parallels between firefighting and whitewater kayaking, her experience solo thru hiking the Appalachian Trail, and the lessons she learned about self-sufficiency and the power of choice.

Cindy also shares how comparing yourself to others can cause you to play small, and how celebrating your accomplishments allows you to contribute to and inspire others to do things they never thought possible.

If you’re looking to change things up in your life and take on a new challenge, this episode is for you.
