The Discomfort Zone

Ep #71 Mike Wang on Turning Conflict and Anger into Connection


Listen Later

This one goes deep, y’all. 💛

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Wang—a paddling coach and entrepreneur —who shares his powerful journey of navigating discomfort both on and off the water. From growing his self-awareness and communication skills to confronting deep family wounds, Mike opens up about the courageous conversations he’s had with his father, who physically abused him and his mother.

We talk about: 🌀 How anger and discomfort can actually fuel growth 🗣️ The importance of curiosity when navigating conflict 💡 Building emotional intelligence and self-awareness 💛 Processing trauma in supportive, safe spaces 🌱 The healing power of forgiveness and vulnerability

This is an honest, vulnerable, and deeply inspiring conversation about what it really means to step into the discomfort zone and come out stronger on the other side.

If you are experiencing conflict in your life, and are looking for answers and strategies to move forward, you don’t want to miss this one.
