1. Why Is Change So Difficult? | Ep. 22 Kevin R Strauss 19:20

In this episode of Question It., we’re exploring why change feels so difficult and uncovering how Growth begins when
we step into discomfort. I’ll share personal stories, including a life-changing NOLS backpacking expedition, to illustrate the 3 Zone concept. We’re diving into how fear acts as a barrier to growth and why deeply valuing a goal can
motivate us to embrace the discomfort of change. The episode emphasizes that expanding our zones is essential for personal growth and lasting transformation.

Key Takeaway: Growth happens when we’re willing to face discomfort and step into the unfamiliar. Fear often holds us back, but when we deeply value something, that passion and purpose can give us the courage to move forward. By
pushing past our limits with intention, we create space for lasting change and personal transformation.

Peace. Love. Connect.
