If You Feel Uncomfortable, You're Doing it Right -- Solo with Sarah Johnston

Welcome to my Tent

In this episode, our host dives into the murky waters of change. As we transition from summer to fall (or in Phoenix, from "hot" to "slightly less hot"), she explores why change can feel overwhelming, scary, and intimidating.

Sarah talks about the F-word – no, not that one, the other one: Failure. She explains why labeling setbacks as failures is hindering your progress. Instead, she encourages us to view these moments as feedback, turning our "oops" into "ooh, interesting!"

The episode dives into the long-term vs. short-term mindset, reminding us that personal growth isn't a quick fix (sorry). It takes time, patience, and a lot of introspection.

Our host shares some nuggets of wisdom from her therapy sessions, including the counterintuitive idea that feeling uncomfortable means you're doing it right. Which seems unfair, but whatever.

Finally, she leaves us with a party analogy that'll make you rethink how you deal with uncomfortable feelings. Spoiler alert: it doesn't involve hiding behind the potted plants all night.

This episode offers a fresh perspective on embracing the chaos of personal development. Buckle up, drop some f-bombs, and let’s get to changing!
