November Workshop · Deepening Into Discomfort


No one likes to be uncomfortable — comfort is lovely, right? But as you probably know, our biggest growth can come if we let ourselves go into the discomfort of uncertainty and stumbling.

Habit change is a prime example: if you want to change your habits, you have to be willing to feel some discomfort. It’s a part of change and growth. The same can be said of doing meaningful work, of putting our creations out into the world, of becoming a new version of ourselves.

But we resist the discomfort of not knowing and of growing, naturally. What if we could deepen into that discomfort, as a practice of growth and love? New possibilities emerge!

In our November Fearless Living Academy workshop, Deepening Into Discomfort, we'll look at:

  • Why we run from discomfort: the habitual ways we avoid discomfort, distract ourselves, and retreat to comfort, and how to notice them as they happen
  • How to stay with discomfort: a simple practice for turning toward the physical sensation of uncertainty instead of away from it, and bringing curiosity to the uncertainty experience
  • Bringing love to the struggle: how to meet resistance and not knowing with a sense of warmth and encouragement
  • Discomfort as a training ground: using habit change, meaningful work, and sharing your creations as daily places to practice
  • What opens up on the other side: the possibilities that emerge when discomfort stops being the thing that decides what you do

This 90-minute workshop will include my teaching, as well as time for coaching and questions.

🗓️ Friday, November 20 · 11 am PT / 2 pm ET

Many times, as we start out on our journey of self-growth, we think of the things we want to add: exercise, meditation, eating healthy, a morning routine, a productivity method. But as we deepen, we discover that what’s often required is letting go. It’s a powerful part of what we’re doing here in Fearless Living Academy. And it’s not easy. If we can practice letting go though … new possibilities open up. I find that incredibly powerful. That’s why our October Fearless Living Academy workshop...

One of the biggest successes of my life transformation has been continually improving my health and fitness, to the point where I feel genuinely healthy and good in my body. That’s something I believe many of us are striving for, at any age. That’s such a challenge in the modern environment we live in — with digital devices calling for our attention every waking hour, with work that often means being sedentary for hours a day, and with ultra-processed foods so hard to avoid. Pretty much...

Fundamental to everything we do in Fearless Living Academy is being fully present with whatever we do — whether that’s a new habit we’re forming, or meaningful work we’ve chosen, or just being with people who are important to us. That’s become more and more of a challenge in today’s digital landscape, with short-form video content, social media, online shopping, TV shows and YouTube videos, AI chat bots and so much more. Add to that the huge pile of tasks and emails we have to attend to, and...
