218. Growth Gap: The Tension Between Who You've Been & Who You're Becoming | The Not Too Sensitive Podcast

In this episode, Alissa shares a powerful reflection on the connection between personal growth and expanding your tolerance for discomfort.

She explains how the moments that stretch us, challenge us, and make us uncomfortable are actually the in-between spaces where transformation happens.

Using real examples from her postpartum fitness journey and her early days coaching highly sensitive people, Alissa reminds us that confidence and self-trust are built through showing up in the messy middle, not avoiding it.

You’ll learn why avoiding discomfort keeps HSPs stuck in people-pleasing, how to recognize the growth hidden inside your triggers, and why the tension between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming is exactly where your evolution lives.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why expanding your tolerance for discomfort is essential for growth
• How to reframe tension and discomfort as signs of transformation
• Why “the messy middle” is where confidence and self-trust are built
• How to move through people-pleasing and fear of judgment
• What it really means to take ownership of your life and healing
