Interested in personal growth? Turn up the heat.

Think back to the time, event, or experience where you experienced the most growth. What was it? What thoughts and feelings did you experience heading into it?​​​​​​​​

​​​​​Chances are it wasn't something you had on lock, completely, 100% figured out heading into it. You likely had a mix of thoughts and feelings going in - excitement, angst, exhilaration, uncertainty…​​​​​​​​

In the adult development world, we call these "high heat" experiences - where you're feeling on the spot, experiencing some pressure, and being stretched in new ways - all while being highly invested in quality outcomes.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​Growth almost always requires discomfort. Recognize it, name it, accept it, and understand its purpose - and even though the discomfort may not subside, you'll like be more comfortable with its presence.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​When was the last time you turned up the heat?​​​​​​​​

With mega moxie + lots of love,​​​​​​​​
