I share a few personal stories of my own dance with discomfort, including the time I risked looking like a borderline stalker as I refused to let my fear of feeling awkward keep me from taking the very actions that would open new doors and enable me to travel far\u2026 literally!&amp;nbsp; We\u2019ll explore why the \u201ctyranny of a comfortable life\u201d can keep us stuck, what Maslow observed about our deep need for growth, and how neuroscience shows that even the smallest brave actions can rewire our brains and strengthen our \u2018courage muscles\u2019 over time. If there\u2019s something you\u2019ve been putting off or playing small around, I hope this episode gives you the nudge (or loving kick) you need to step into your \u2018courage gap\u2019 and make peace with discomfort!&amp;nbsp;  Order The Courage Gap  &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell","author_url":"https:\/\/thelivebravepodcast.com\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/36138035\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/36138035"}
