Embracing Discomfort & Writing Your Own Story with Jessica Smith Dos Santos

Welcome to our podcast featuring special guest Jessica Smith Dos Santos, a life coach who will challenge you to think differently about the choices you make in your life.

In this episode, Jessica discusses the idea of making decisions and the importance of being willing to embrace discomfort in order to achieve your goals. She poses thought-provoking questions such as, "What are the things in your life that you are sick and tired of?" and "How willing are you to be uncomfortable?" Jessica encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and to consider whether they are truly ready to let go of old patterns and habits that no longer serve them.

Through her own personal experiences, 17 years of nursing, and insights gained from working with clients, Jessica highlights the fact that deciding to make a change means giving death to all other options. She reminds us that life is not going to get easier or more comfortable, and that we must be emotionally prepared to cope with the discomfort that comes with growth and change. Ultimately, she challenges us to ask ourselves, "Am I willing to be uncomfortable in order to create a new and better story for my life?"

Tune in to this inspiring conversation to gain new perspectives and motivation to make the changes you want in your life.
