What's your familiar hell costing you?
Description
What parts of your life feel like a familiar hell - painful but too comfortable to leave behind? In this deeply personal episode, I share a powerful passage from the fourth chapter of my upcoming book "Invisible" (formerly titled "Subject to Change"), revealing how we're hardwired to choose familiar pain over unfamiliar possibilities.
The concept resonates deeply through my own story - from law enforcement to military service to PTSD therapy. That familiar hell manifests differently for each of us: toxic relationships that mirror childhood dynamics, habits that numb our pain, or careers that no longer align with our authentic selves. We stay because the predictable pain feels safer than stepping into unknown territory.
My journey required a radical shift to break these patterns, forcing me into unfamiliar territory where I could rebuild according to my true desires rather than programmed responses. What about you? What dreams are you postponing because pursuing them feels too unpredictable? What changes are you avoiding because your current discomfort at least feels knowable? That very discomfort might be your bridge to everything you want.
Join me as I navigate not just my book journey (currently in the editing and beta reader phase), but the beautiful chaos of rescuing two puppies and pursuing self-publishing with the help of bestselling mentors. The familiar might feel safe, but real transformation awaits just beyond your comfort zone.
