Comfort vs. Courage: Which Path Are You On?
Ever feel like you’re doing all the “right” things - ticking the boxes, following the steps, chasing the milestones - yet deep down, you know it’s not your path?
This episode is about what happens when you stop walking the road everyone expects you to take… and start carving out the one that actually feels true. It’s usually not the easy road, and it’s definitely not the most popular - at the same time it’s the one that changes everything.
In this conversation, we unpack what it really looks like to choose the road less travelled - the doubts, the detours, the breakdowns, and the breakthroughs. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re brave enough to stop living someone else’s version of success and start living your own, this one’s going to hit home.
IN THIS EPISODE
- The question that stops leaders in their tracks: "Wouldn't it be easier to just take the paved road?" - and what choosing differently really means.
- Why blindly following blueprints and "proven paths" can cost you the very business (or life) you're wanting to build.
- Giorgia's behind-the-scenes crash with "trying" to copy everyone else's formulas - and what it shows about the price of ignoring your own voice.
- Dawn's habit of doing what nobody around her would dare to do - and how those leaps reveal what it actually takes to lead.
- What grief, heartbreak, and moving to a city you've never even seen before (except in pictures) can teach you about resilience and trusting your own vision.
- The surprising ripple effect of one bold choice - and why the "impossible" often becomes inevitable once you take the first step.
- The bigger takeaway: how to recognise when you're clinging to safety, and what happens when you finally choose the road that's yours.
