The speaker feels intense anxiety even doing things they love, but argues that the deeper pain of not becoming who they could be is worse. Confronting hard feelings, not avoiding them, is what leads to growth.
I do so much in my life so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable. 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 little kindred spirits. Sometimes in the middle of a podcast, I'm like, I'll get a wave of anxiety. I'm 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. 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 and not being able to get there or feel it or something is blocking it is like so much more painful.
