You’ve heard it before: “Get out of your comfort zone!” But what if that advice isn’t always right? What if sometimes, staying where you are is exactly what you need?

The truth is, your comfort zone isn’t your enemy—it’s a tool. Sometimes, it provides healing, security, and clarity. Other times, it traps you in fear and avoidance. The key is knowing when to step out—and when to lean in.

In this episode, we explore:
✔️ The neuroscience of comfort zones (and why they exist for a reason)
✔️ The difference between resting in your comfort zone vs. hiding in it
✔️ How small, intentional exploration can help you grow without burnout
✔️ Real-life stories of people who learned when to push—and when to stay put

If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting more and needing stability, this episode will give you the clarity you need.
