It's finally HEERREE - the first episode! This is a little different than most first episodes, but I really wanted to give you guys the 'why' behind this podcast, and why I would give it such a contradicting title! I know 'embracing the uncomfortable' seems like an oxymoron, but here I'll explain all the benefits that can come from this mindset shift and a little about how I even got to that point myself. Plus, you'll get to hear many of my flaws right out the gate, mainly being the amount of times I can say the word "um" in a short period of time!  But in all seriousness, I hope this helps set a foundation for being able to see what God can be doing when our life is at its most uncomfortable, and how we can truly find purpose and growth opportunities from it all!  Connect w/ me beyond the pod on Instagram: @bnsducks or @embracing.the.uncomfortable

Welcome to Embracing the Uncomfortable - finally! If there's one thing that I've learned over the last few years, it's most definitely that life can be uncomfortable.  Sometimes it's painfully uncomfortable, other times it's just hilariously uncomfortable, but the biggest thing I've learned through all of the emotions is that these seasons of life can be so beneficial! After all, when God wants you to grow, He tends to make us... you guessed it - uncomfortable!  This is going to be a podcast all about life - I’ll be the one to talk all about the things that nobody wants to talk about or share, maybe too embarrassing, or maybe too insecure. I firmly believe that the things that make us uncomfortable are the very things that can offer the biggest opportunities for growth. And I, for one,  intend on taking full advantage, along with offering you a glimpse into my own real, raw, & quite often  comedic experiences!  Come hang out as I sprinkle some Jesus, a little humor, and hopefully a few helpful & relatable reminders into the uncomfortableness that can be life. You can either laugh with me, laugh at me, agree with me, or none of the above… as I share some of the many lessons that God has taught me over the past couple years - but especially when I was at my MOST uncomfortable. So, cheers to whatever is in your glass, and I am so looking forward to you joining me on this journey — it’s gonna be so much fun!
