In this episode of Career Convos™ with Nikki, I reflect on the important lessons I learned during the challenging process of buying a new construction home. I dive into why discomfort is essential for growth and how pushing through uncomfortable situations, whether voluntary or involuntary, builds resilience and prepares you for bigger wins ahead.

I share personal stories about patience, managing uncertainty, and staying focused on the prize despite setbacks and delays. From navigating supply chain issues to balancing emotions, I talk about embracing discomfort as a necessary part of any meaningful journey.

If you are feeling stuck, anxious, or afraid to take the next leap, whether in your career, finances, or personal life, this episode offers encouragement and practical insight on how discomfort is temporary but the rewards on the other side are worth it.

Thanks for listening. I hope this episode inspires you to lean into growth and trust your own path. Do not forget to join the conversation with #CareerConvos™.
