Will you step outside your comfort zone?

And let fear and challenge become a portal...

Change comes from the moments that challenge us. From moments of intensity. From moments that invite us to show up, FULLY.

The words aren’t exact, but I heard Robin Arzon, one of my favorite Peloton instructors say something like this during a recent ride – and it struck me. 

I’d just returned from the Nurture & Nourish You Retreat, and had just witnessed several of my retreaters – experience moments of physical and emotional challenge WAY outside their comfort zone. 

As in, BEYOND all comfort and towards their deepest fears.

I watched as they faced these fears head-on. With courage. With grace. Asking for and feeling supported by the circle of community around them.

I watched as they showed up with their vulnerability on full display, and took one step and then another – into their fear. 

I love to say that retreats have the power to be life-changing because every day is an invitation to step outside the norm of your routine. 

And during this particular retreat, I got to witness that transformation. Because by the end of our week, these retreaters went home not just having faced their fears, but changed – from the inside out. They obliterated their comfort zones in ways that they never thought possible and emerged with newfound confidence. With a sense of devotion to their truest truth. 

And while I DO believe that we have the power to change our narrative and embody our truest self every single day, I was reminded that sometimes we need to be nudged into that place of discomfort, to find the spark of inner truth that wants to emerge. 

Maybe that means facing a fear. Or maybe that means embracing something that feels uncomfortable or out of your comfort zone. Or maybe… that means allowing yourself to get a little breathless. 

My question to you is…what is one place where you can step outside your comfort zone today or this week? What might you need to believe to not just step outside, but walk through the portal of inner peace and inner power – onto your path of truth?

I’d love to hear what emerges for you!

Xo,
