In this episode of The Worthy Wealthy Woman Podcast , we dive into a topic that every entrepreneur and creative needs to hear—discomfort. Being an entrepreneur isn't about staying comfortable; it's about pushing boundaries, meeting your edge, and leaning into the discomfort that growth requires. Most people retreat when things get uncomfortable, but what if that discomfort is actually a sign that you're on the right path? In this episode, I share personal stories that helped me redefine my relationship with discomfort and step into my power. We also explore how nervous system regulation plays a key role in neutralizing discomfort, so it no longer holds you back but instead propels you forward. If you're ready to stop avoiding discomfort and start using it as a tool for your success, this episode is for you. Plus, I’m sharing two exciting opportunities: the Denver Workshop for photographers looking to elevate their business and my CEO SZN group coaching program for creative entrepreneurs ready to step into their full CEO identity (LINKED BELOW). Tune in, lean in, and embrace the discomfort that leads to your next level. ------------------ CONNECT WITH ME Join me for The Darkroom Retreat for Women Faith-Led Photographers: https://darkroom.lenstolaunch.com/ Join my new private group on Facebook, The Development Studio , for faith-driven female creative entrepreneurs and photographers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/developmentstudio DM me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skye_wohphoto/ 1:1 Private Coaching with Skye: DM me https://tinyurl.com/eky78xuk…
