Last week I had the opportunity to head to campus for 3 days as part of my graduate school experience.\xa0While much of my program is online, from time to time I will have the chance to head to campus for these 3-day immersive experiences.\xa0I was so excited for this first chance to be on campus and meet some of my professors and classmates.\xa0\xa0\nWhen entering a new space, there is always some discomfort.\xa0I felt that on the first morning as I entered the classroom.\xa0I sat with that discomfort for a bit and really listened to it.\xa0As I listened inward throughout our first morning, my discomfort gradually shifted to excitement.\xa0I could feel in my bones that I was in exactly the place I was meant to be.\xa0\xa0\nI\u2019ve had a few days to think about this experience of stepping into something new, unfamiliar, and uncomfortable.\xa0I realized there are some important pieces of how I navigated this discomfort that can be helpful to anyone entering a new experience or environment.\xa0\xa0\nIn this episode, I walk you through my experience in this class situation while also offering key insights into how you can step into new experiences and quickly discern if it's the right place for you right now, how to navigate your discomfort, how to shift anxiety into excitement, and how to create space for the growth opportunities that will likely open up for you.\xa0\xa0\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
