The Visibility Standard

Why Discomfort is Proof You’re on the Right Path

Jazzmyn Proctor Season 4 Episode 5

Is the fear of being perceived keeping you small? You've got the vision, but taking the next step feels paralyzing. In this episode of The Visibility Standard, host Jazzmyn tackles the biggest misconception in entrepreneurial growth: the belief that aligned action should feel easy.

We challenge the notion of "comfortable growth" and reframe discomfort as the ultimate proof that you are expanding and moving toward your biggest goals. You'll learn:

  • Why you might be choosing familiarity and stagnation over the growth you say you want.
  • The essential practice of building your "distress tolerance" so that feeling uncomfortable signals progress, not failure.
  • How Jazzmyn flexed her own growth muscle by choosing a moment of profound professional discomfort—quitting a job with no backup—and why that experience made her feel "unstoppable."
  • The difference between allegiance and loyalty and why cutting one-sided relationships is a vital act of self-preservation and growth.

If you're a founder or creative wrestling with visibility fears and internal resistance, this is your permission slip to stop shrinking. Embrace the friction—your biggest breakthroughs are waiting on the other side of your comfort zone.
