About this Podcast Episode

On this episode, Angela and Kristin are joined again by Adrienne to talk about what else? Uncomfortable things! They discuss why we and our kids avoid uncomfortable situations, the value in allowing (not avoiding) discomfort, and how to do it, even when it doesn’t feel great.
