Shirley Markant, PhD

Welcome back to the podcast!

In this episode, I talk about some thoughts-in-progress that have been on my mind recently around the connection between moving out of our comfort zones and the question of "how do I want this to feel" while moving toward the next big goal. We talk about how the steps along the way don't have to be extra hard or a huge challenge to overcome in order to "count" as progress and growth. I share my current perspective (which admittedly, might change in the future!), in which I'm finding it empowering to embrace a series of small steps and gentle expansion of my comfort zone boundaries as the mechanism toward big goals and change.  And how this all connects to the concept of becoming even more of yourself.
 
Thank you for listening!
