Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney
Let's face it, life is uncomfortable. Whether it's interacting with other humans (or trying to), going after our goals and improving our lives, or understanding other people's perspectives, preferences and proclivities, being able to face the discomforts in life with courage, compassion, confidence and resilience will make life a lot more enjoyable! So join me as we DANCE IN THE DISCOMFORT ZONE! We'll explore new ideas, learn how to build our confidence, courage and resilience, and laugh a little too, because life is serious enough. We need a little cha cha, and a little ha ha every once in a while! Welcome to the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney!

The Surprising Truth About Quitting
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What do a rock-and-roll roadie, a resilience researcher, and a CPA-turned-yogi have in common?
More than you think.
At first glance, June's guests seemed to disagree completely.
- Amy Vetter embraced reinvention.
- Scott Scovill preached tenacity.
- Courtney Clark advocated quitting.
But when I looked closer, I realized they were all teaching the same lesson:
Don't quit because it's hard. Quit because it's wrong.
In this month's wrap-up episode, I connect the dots between three incredible conversations and explore what turned out to be the difference between giving up on a dream and giving up on a plan.
You'll discover:
• Why persistence and adaptability are partners, not opposites
• The difference between a goal and a plan
• How fear disguises itself in different ways but can always get in the way
• Why success is more like dancing than walking (hence the name of this podcast!)
If you've ever wondered whether you should keep pushing, change direction, or completely reinvent your approach, this episode will help you find the sweet spot between grit and flexibility.
