Ever wondered why familiarity feels so safe, even when it’s holding you back? Join us on "This Doesn't Count as Therapy" as we explore the psychology behind comfort zones and the necessity of breaking free from them. Through personal stories of career changes and education pursuits, we illustrate how stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to profound personal growth. Using the analogy of repotting plants, we’ll show you how outgrowing your current environment can be the key to thriving. Learn to recognize signs of stagnation, such as autopilot living and self-sabotage, and discover practical steps like seeking certifications or exploring new career paths to reignite your growth.
