That's exactly what makes it so dangerous.In this episode, I'm getting personal. Ally joins me as I talk about something I've been struggling with, the slow realization that playing it safe was costing me more than any risk ever could, and what the trails taught me about the kind of person I refuse to let comfort turn me into. This one isn't theoretical, I'm still in the middle of it.What you'll walk away with:How to recognize the comfort trap before it's taken years from youWhy your fear of risk is probably aimed at the wrong thingThe honest questions to ask yourself when something needs to changeHow to move with intention instead of just blowing everything upOne simple challenge to take back control, this weekI'm not through this yet, guys.
