Episode 7: How to Handle the Hard Stuff Without Running Away
Do you ever find yourself avoiding tough conversations, putting off difficult decisions, or numbing out when life gets overwhelming?
In this episode of More Than a Type, hosts Amira Romanowski and Carol Edwin explore the “hard stuff” — those uncomfortable moments we all face, but often run from. For women with an I-style in DISC, the tendency to escape into distractions, humor, or busyness can feel safer than sitting with discomfort. But growth happens when you learn to stay present.
Together, Amira and Carol unpack:
Why I-style women struggle to stay present when things feel heavy.
How avoidance patterns show up at work, at home, and in relationships.
What running away looks like in unresourceful behaviour — and how to reframe it.
Real-life examples of women who found courage to stay grounded in tough moments.
Practical tips to build resilience, regulate your nervous system, and handle discomfort with confidence.
💎 Because real strength isn’t avoiding the storm — it’s learning to stand steady in it.
Key Takeaways from This Episode
Avoidance feels safe in the moment but creates long-term stress.
Other DISC styles may see “running away” as careless or unreliable.
Staying present is a skill — not a personality trait.
Resourceful I women bring light and connection, even in hard spaces.
Discomfort is a sign of growth, not weakness.
