Why Growth Feels So Uncomfortable But Is Totally Worth It

Most people crave comfort. But what if it’s the one thing holding you back from everything you want?

In this episode of Growth Drivers, Mike and Rachael Novak break down why comfort is the real enemy of growth—and how it shows up looking like safety, security, and success… while secretly keeping you stuck.

We’re sharing:

— The hidden cost of “playing it safe” (in business, relationships, and life)
 — Why most people never break free from their comfort zone—and how to know if that’s you
— The exact mindset shift we used to sell our dream home and step into something bigger
— How to separate fact from feeling when fear tries to talk you out of your next move
— And why discomfort isn’t a punishment—it’s the path to purpose

If you’ve been feeling restless, stuck, or a little too “fine” lately—this is your wake-up call.

Hit play and get uncomfortable. Growth is calling. 👀
