Gratitude & Discomfort: How Embracing What’s Hard Builds Strength, Presence & Growth
Discomfort might not be glamorous—but it’s one of the most powerful tools for personal growth. In this episode, I share why I intentionally seek discomfort through cold plunges, hot/cold therapy, meditation, and workouts—and how gratitude helps me move through it all with more clarity, inner strength, and presence.
You’ll hear:
• Why discomfort is a gateway to growth, self-trust, and resilience
• How I use gratitude to shift my mindset in difficult moments
• My personal process with cold plunges—and what they’ve taught me about presence
• How to stop resisting discomfort and start learning from it
• A mindset reframe that helps you feel grounded and strong, even in the hard stuff
