What does our addiction to comfort cost us?

We’re back, after a couple of weeks of rest, family and good music. This week we’re talking about the value of friction and how we’ve been sold a lie that comfort should be our ultimate goal. When we remove the friction, we lose art and creativity, we lose our capacity for relationship-building, and we lose our resilience.

A couple of references in this video:

If you want to grow your capacity for living with friction, join us for one of our upcoming programs:

  • Holding Space Foundation Program - our flagship program that takes a deep dive into what it means to hold space for the complexity and friction in our lives

  • Understanding People - the next module of Become a Grounded Guide - in which you’ll learn about core needs, healthy nervous systems, beliefs, biases, and relationship patterns

  • Heather’s in-person workshops in Europe
