Discomfort is unavoidable in relationships, but how we respond to it can either create distance or deepen connection. 

In this episode, Annmarie Chereso joins Stephanie to talk about why tolerating discomfort is a crucial skill for parenting, partnerships, and personal growth.

They explore how fear-based reactions show up in conflict, how early conditioning around being “good” shapes our boundaries, and what it looks like to lead with trust instead of threat. 

This conversation offers a thoughtful look at navigating hard moments with more awareness, compassion, and clarity.
