In this special episode of "Permission to Evolve," hosts Brandon Thielk and Holly Deschenes broadcast from 11,000 feet up at Rocky Mountain National Park. The discussion centers around the importance of willingly embracing hard challenges rather than avoiding them. They explore the confidence gained from tackling difficulties, the mental and emotional growth that accompanies physical challenges, and the setbacks of opting for a too-comfortable life. The episode delves into personal anecdotes of hardship and perseverance, the value of emotional intelligence, and plans for an upcoming in-person event focused on deep emotional work and personal growth. They emphasize that life's greatest rewards often lie beyond our comfort zones and that facing fears can lead to significant transformations.
