Every morning, I wake my daughters up with the song “Wake Up Everybody.”

There’s a line that always hits me:

It takes me back to when my grandmother was recovering from a stroke — and the small things I knew I could have done… but didn’t.

In this episode, I talk about:

Why comfort can quietly cost us years

How inactivity — not cold weather — often drives pain

The difference between maintaining comfort and building capacity

Why small, consistent effort compounds (especially as we age)

Three months of discomfort could mean three more years of life.

We don’t need to run marathons.

But we do need to stop training for stillness.

Comfort is a nice place.

Nothing grows there.

Wake up.
