What are you really avoiding right now? In this episode, William dives deep into the subtle ways we distract ourselves from discomfort—yes, even with self-improvement. William challenges you to confront the hidden reasons behind your impulse to watch this video, check social media, or dive into another productivity hack.

By the end, you’ll understand how the very feelings you run from might actually be your greatest guides. It’s time to stop escaping and start listening. Take a breath, be present, and let the discomfort stay—it might just have something important to teach you.
