We love to call it a comfort zone, but let’s be honest — if you were truly comfortable, you wouldn’t be emailing me, considering a change, or listening to this podcast. What we call the “comfort zone” is almost never comfortable. It’s just known. Predictable. Familiar. And that’s a trap.

In this episode, I’m walking you through a powerful coaching conversation I had with someone on the fence about making a change. She thought she was afraid to leave her comfort zone… but what she was really bumping up against was the exposure of wanting more.

We’re getting into:

Why what we label as comfort is often just familiarity
The real reason you might be afraid to change (and what you’re already missing out on)
How your current fear might just be a red triangle in the storybook Zoom — you’re too close to it to see what it really is

And most importantly, I’m sharing three practical ways to get out of the known zone and into forward momentum:

Make small changes — simple disruptions to your routines build pattern-breaking momentum
Create strategic disappointment — practice saying “no” in low-stakes moments so the harder ones don’t knock you down
Choose intentional vulnerability — share the thing you’d rather not share; say the thing you usually skip over

This isn’t about overhauling your life. It’s about doing one thing differently — and letting it open the door to change.
