Leaving your comfort zone

Jake Ernst & Simon Paluck
About this episode

This Isn't Therapy...this is a fun, flirty, fab convo about how being comfortable will not make you happy 🤯. In this episode, Jake and Simon chat through two #lovelylistener story submissions - one features a tale about moving on from a beloved job and the other explores the fear of leaving the comfort zone. They discuss how the (necessary) feelings of discomfort lead to personal growth and introduce (please welcome to the stage) the growing edge - no, Wendy, that's not in reference to you growing a fierce bang.
