The Discomfort Practice


The Discomfort Practice explores the value of discomfort in shaping who we are, how we are in the world and how it can be a catalyst for positive social evolution.

Betsy speaks to leaders, activists, athletes, creatives and others who, like her, are ‘professional discomforters’ about comfort zones, having a conscious ‘discomfort practice,’ and the superpowers that lie on the other side of stepping into the unknown. Come get uncomfortable with Betsy...

This solo definitely builds on past solos about transitions and life processes because, surprise surprise, I’m still in a big life transition. This is a love letter to other secret introverts and to quiet moments. It’s to those of you out there who crave quiet and alone time and to just be left alone for a while - regularly or from time to time.

Right now I need and crave a lot of solitude, a lot of quiet time, because I'm going through a big internal process and building the architecture of my life for the coming years. It’s about running a business, but it’s also about becoming. Being who I need to be to deliver what I feel is my mission in the world.

I’m currently spending a lot of time letting things flow, letting things drop into place and letting things ‘occur’ to me. And to do that I’ve created a quiet little bubble of beauty and solitude and I am loving it. Because it allows me to hear my intuition. To guide myself. To not get tangled in the noise of ‘shoulds’ or ‘shouldn’ts’ or simply the thoughts of others. 

I encourage you to challenge any narratives you have around allowing yourself to take time to be quiet, to be introverted, introspective. Because this is what a lot of us need right now and it’s what the world needs us to choose to do. It’s in that space that you can connect with who you ARE and what your instincts tell you.

It’s also space that we all need to change our narratives and thinking that really won’t serve us as we move into a new stage of human history, and a new stage of your individual life.

Please do reach out to me if this episode resonates and you’d like to reflect on your own ‘knowings’ and thoughts around some of the things I talk about and your life right now. I’m here to support you and I would love to connect. Enjoy and big love to all of you listening.
