Ep. 111 - The Life You Want is On the Other Side of the Work You're Avoiding

I heard a quote this week that hit me square in the chest: “The life you want is on the other side of the work you’re avoiding.” OUCH -  but it’s true — not just for people, but for companies too.

In this episode, I talk about how we all dodge the hard things — the feedback conversations, the accountability moments, the uncomfortable truths — and how those acts of avoidance quietly steal our growth. I see it in coaching sessions every week: talented people stuck because they’re protecting comfort instead of chasing progress. And I see it in organizations that cling to “the way we’ve always done it,” even when that way drains engagement and erodes trust.

If you want your people to love Monday, you have to stop avoiding the work that makes Monday worth loving. The culture you want — and the life you want — are waiting on the other side of the hard things.
