Katrina's laying down some serious wisdom on how to patch up those relationships, especially the ones with our parents. But here's the twist—she's not saying we need to dig through every painful memory. Nope, it's all about dealing with what's happening right here, right now. Think meditation, visualizing, or even just reconnecting with our inner child. Katrina reminds us that progress isn't always pretty, but hey, it's progress nonetheless!

But here's the kicker: resilience. Katrina's big on bouncing back, no matter what life throws our way. And the best part? By choosing to heal, we're not just changing our own lives; we're rewriting the playbook for our families and society as a whole. So let's roll up our sleeves and get to work—it's time to break those cycles once and for all.

Today, we're diving into a juicy topic inspired by none other than the fabulous Brene Brown reel that's been making the rounds on Instagram. Joining Katrina is the wonderful Melanie Tingey, a leadership and personal development coach and host of the Embodied and Empowered Podcast. They're unpacking the idea that we're living in a culture of "fun, fast, and easy," where discomfort seems to be the last thing on anyone's agenda.

They kick things off by exploring why it's so darn tempting for people to avoid discomfort and opt for the path of least resistance. Melanie and Katrina chat about the difference between discomfort when it's aligned with your goals and values versus when it's not, and how that plays into your choices.

But here's the thing: They're not here to bash discomfort. In fact, they are flipping the script and embracing it! These ladies dive into the fear that often accompanies discomfort and what happens when we lean into it instead of shying away. Spoiler alert: growth, resilience, and some serious life lessons are involved!

And hey, sometimes we get so caught up in hustling and grinding that we forget to savor the journey. Melanie and Katrina discuss how important it is to strike a balance between doing the work and enjoying the process. After all, life's too short not to find joy in the journey, right?
