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!
Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney
The Race I Shouldn’t Have Finished… and How I Did.
In this solo episode, Anne shares the wild, twisty journey of finishing her seventh-continent marathon—complete with flight chaos, self-doubt, porta-potties, unexpected friendship, and one very persistent inner critic.
What you’ll take away from this episode:
- Why your brain freaks out when you face something hard, new, or uncertain (and why it’s not a problem).
- How “just starting”, one small action shrinks fear and builds self-efficacy.
- Why failure isn’t the enemy…and why not trying is.
- A simple, powerful mantra to use the next time your inner voice says “Nope, you can’t.”
- A nudge to start your thing before the year ends because pride comes from action, not perfection.
If you’ve been circling the starting line of something; asking for the promotion, applying for the job, taking the class, starting the conversation, or literally running the race...this episode will give you the spark to move.
Hit play. Then… just start.
