Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney
Let's face it, life is uncomfortable. Whether it's interacting with other humans (or trying to), going after our goals and improving our lives, or understanding other people's perspectives, preferences and proclivities, being able to face the discomforts in life with courage, compassion, confidence and resilience will make life a lot more enjoyable! So join me as we DANCE IN THE DISCOMFORT ZONE! We'll explore new ideas, learn how to build our confidence, courage and resilience, and laugh a little too, because life is serious enough. We need a little cha cha, and a little ha ha every once in a while! Welcome to the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney!

Why do we call it Dancing in the Discomfort Zone?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I've had a few people recently ask me, "Why do you call it Dancing in the Discomfort Zone podcast?". It's a great question, and I can't believe that in 317 episodes, I've never explained that! So we dedicated this podcast to explaining why we call it that!
