Discomfort—it’s the thing we avoid but the very thing we need. In this episode of Resilient Wisdom, we’re diving into the transformative power of discomfort and why it’s the ultimate catalyst for personal growth.
We’ll explore why discomfort feels so hard, how it’s wired into our brains as a survival mechanism, and why avoiding it leads to stagnation. But more importantly, we’ll show you how to reframe discomfort as your ally, not your enemy. From unlocking the science of resilience to making discomfort part of your identity, this episode offers practical strategies for leaning into challenges and thriving through struggle.
You’ll learn how discomfort expands your comfort zone, builds mental and emotional strength, and becomes the foundation for a fulfilling, purpose-driven life. Whether it’s embracing the suck of a tough workout, starting a new career, or facing a fear head-on, this episode will inspire you to normalize discomfort and use it as a tool to unlock your potential.
Tune in and discover how discomfort is not just part of the journey—it is the journey.

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
