We’ve built entire industries around physical pain —
gyms, trainers, Crossfit boxes, protocols, recovery routines.
We understand the formula:
rip → repair → strengthen.
But emotional pain?
We panic.
We avoid.
We rescue.
We numb.
We silence the truth to “protect” people from discomfort…
…while pretending that’s kindness.
In this episode, Leah dismantles the biggest emotional lie we’ve been taught:
that feelings are fragile and must be avoided.
You’ll learn:
• why emotional pain is the REAL gym
• the difference between kindness and comfort-seeking
• why avoiding discomfort is actually selfish
• how emotional resilience is built (and how it’s destroyed)
• the parent trap of protecting kids from necessary adversity
• why teams need honest emotional reps
• and how taking responsibility for your thoughts changes everything
If you want to grow, lead, parent, love, and live with more honesty, strength, and confidence—
this episode will give you the blueprint.
