It Wasn’t Supposed to Hurt


Listen Later

We often think serving others should feel easy, light, or comforting. But what if true service sometimes presses where it hurts? In this short episode, Frances shares a surprising experience at the chiropractor that became a powerful reminder: discomfort can be part of healing — in the body, and in relationships. Service isn’t always soft. But it can be deeply transformational.



Reflective Questions:

Have you ever helped someone in a way that felt uncomfortable, but necessary?

Do you hold back from serving because you’re afraid it might stretch or challenge you?

Who in your life might need your presence or truth — even if it’s not the easiest thing to offer?



Action Steps:

1. Identify one person you can serve today in a meaningful way, even if it feels a little uncomfortable.

2. Choose love over ease — speak truth with compassion or offer help that goes beyond convenience.

3. Journal or reflect afterward on how stepping into discomfort may have brought clarity or connection.



Breadcrumb for today:
