About the host:

Hi, friend! My name is Pamela Hughes and I’m a former talk show host turned life coach. After 20 years in the news business, I walked away from what people thought I should do and I did what I wanted to do … coach people who are stuck like I was and help them find relief, awareness and control within themselves.

This was no easy task and I’m not here telling you it was. I had to take full responsibility for where my life was and then decide where I wanted it to go. It was time to stop complaining about my situation and do something about it. I had to stop looking for others to validate me and start having my own back. This required looking inside myself for the answers instead of looking outside myself.

I told you it wasn’t easy … but I wouldn’t change one thing about my journey because it led me right here to you reading about it, maybe identifying with aspects of it and hopefully being inspired to get UNSTUCK.

Have you ever found yourself avoiding a task, conversation, or opportunity simply because it made you uncomfortable? You're not alone.

In this thought-provoking episode, Pamela Hughes challenges the common perception of discomfort, revealing how it can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and transformation. Drawing from cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience, Pamela explores why stepping out of our comfort zones is essential for developing resilience, creativity, and overall life satisfaction.

But this isn't just about theory. Pamela gets personal, sharing her own humbling (and often hilarious) journey of embracing discomfort through learning to swim as an adult. Her story illustrates how facing our fears and insecurities head-on can lead to unexpected breakthroughs and a renewed sense of self-confidence.

Throughout the episode, Pamela offers practical strategies for incorporating beneficial discomfort into your daily life, including:

• How to reframe nervousness as excitement

• The power of setting weekly 'discomfort' goals

• Techniques for building your "uncomfortable muscle"

• Why celebrating effort, not just outcomes, is crucial for growth

  
  

Whether you're looking to advance in your career, improve your relationships, or simply break free from a rut, this episode provides a roadmap for harnessing the power of discomfort to propel your personal growth.

Don't miss this opportunity to transform your relationship with discomfort and unlock new possibilities in your life. Tune in and discover why the path to getting unstuck might be a little uncomfortable - in the best way possible!
