They discuss the importance of doing so and how it impacts the development of your brain as well as contributes to your personal growth and development.
Steph shares some information she heard recently on a podcast regarding a certain part of your brain that grows when you do hard things. They also discuss the difference between being forced to do something outside of your comfort zone vs. doing something willing.
