In this episode of The Daily Coach: Sports Leadership Lessons, we revisit the courage it takes to sit with discomfort rather than outrun it. Drawing on Sandra Oh’s reflections after a decade on Grey’s Anatomy, the episode explores how sustained success can coexist with deep internal strain and why growth often begins when resistance stops. It challenges leaders to reconsider the instinct to power through and instead recognize discomfort as a powerful teacher. The lesson is clear: resilience is built not by avoiding hard moments, but by meeting them with honesty, self compassion, and patience. Kindness, especially toward ourselves, becomes the foundation for lasting strength and meaningful leadership.
