Lori Harder says the pain of not becoming who she wants to be outweighs the anxiety of actually trying. She describes feeling anxious even while doing things she loves, but staying willing to push through discomfort to avoid the deeper regret of never attempting it.
I do so much in my life. So uncomfortable. So uncomfortable. Like, even doing things I love. Like, when you first walked in, I have anxiety. You're a friend. Like, I feel comfortable around you. We're, like, literally kindred spirits. Sometimes in the middle of a podcast, I'm like, I'll get a wave of anxiety and, like, why is this here right now? I don't want this to be here, but I am so much more uncomfortable not living into that person that I want to be. Like, that pain of, like, having that vision of who I know I can be and what I know I can do and who I can help and all the things like having that right here in front of me and not being able to get there or feel it or something is blocking it is, like, so much more painful.
