Gratitude & Discomfort: How Embracing What’s Hard Builds Strength, Presence & Growth

Sara Mitich

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
