You\xa0have probably heard the saying, \u201cThe only way out is through.\u201d\xa0\nI would add to this that the only way into your power is through the pain and discomfort of growth.\nPower, achievement, growth, and success only come from putting yourself in situations that push you in new ways.\xa0And that can be ridiculously hard and scary.\xa0For me, there are often nearly impossible nerves to overcome, a racing heart that makes me unable to speak, a belly that cannot stop flip-flopping, and legs that won\u2019t stop shaking.\nThe more dramatic the symptoms, the more I know I\u2019ll grow through the discomfort.\xa0\nCase in point: as I\u2019ve taken up new challenges in skiing this year, I\u2019ve experienced all the above symptoms very regularly.\xa0And I hate it.\xa0I hate it to the point that I get angry.\xa0Also, I\u2019m growing in the biggest ways since I started skiing - as a skier, an athlete, and a woman who is becoming more powerful in all areas of life through actively embracing fear.\nIt\u2019s really hard.\xa0But I\u2019m HERE. FOR. IT.\nIf you want more power in your life you will have to get more uncomfortable.\xa0You will have to do hard things.\xa0\xa0There is no way around it.\xa0It is only through the consistent exposure to scary and hard things that we get to see who we are becoming, how much potential we have for success, and what kind of true joy we are capable of creating for ourselves.\nListen in to hear how I\u2019m using exposure therapy to face my biggest fears this year - and how it\u2019s changing the game for me.\nLinks mentioned:\nJoin me for Shameless Mom Con\nThank you to our sponsors:\n\n\nLaurel Springs: Register your child at LaurelSprings.com/shameless today and receive a waived registration fee.\n\n\nThrive: Start thriving and help women in need today by going to ThriveCausemetics.com/shameless and use code shameless for 15% off your first purchase!\n\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
