You all must know by now how much I love to draw parallels between business and life, and today’s episode is no different as I reflect on something powerful that happened recently with my daughter. Specifically I’ll be talking about how letting yourself and those you lead struggle and face challenges actually gives them the opportunity to grow and strengthen the ability to persevere in the future. I’ll be sharing the science behind this concept from another podcast I was inspired by and I’ll leave you with 3 things you can do to set yourself up for success! So let’s choose the challenge of uncomfort together, and watch how it changes your mindset for the better! 

Episode Highlights:
• [2:15] -  Not being able to help my daughter face something challenging, but realizing the positive outcomes of this moment, similar to other areas as a business owner.
• [8:50] - Do we let those we lead struggle so they have the opportunity to rise again?
• [10:35] - The science behind how the willingness to persevere and to do a task that is unpleasant or challenging literally grows and strengthens our brains. 
• [17:55] - Are we choosing struggle over comfort? 
• [19:29] - 3 Takeaways I’ve learned you can reflect on to grow too!
• [23:30] - Leaning into past experiences to help you navigate new challenges, even when they are unrelated.
