The word uncomfy started as a shorthand between a friend and I. It was our way of describing moments, people, or situations that made us feel uneasy. Emotionally off-center. It carried a weight, a kind of warning. Anything uncomfy was something to avoid.

For a long time, I did just that. I steered clear of anything that might trigger that feeling. I built a life around comfort, predictability, and emotional safety. But now, in this new chapter I’m stepping into, I realize something... I need to get uncomfy, and I need to do it fast.

Comfort has been my shield. It’s where I’ve felt safest. But it’s also where growth goes to die. If I want to evolve, I need to challenge the parts of me that have stayed quiet for too long. I need to stretch, stumble, and yes, feel awkward, exposed, and maybe even embarrassed.

Because uncomfy isn’t the enemy. It’s the price of transformation.

So, here’s to the discomfort. To the awkward conversations. To the bold decisions and the risks that make my heart race. I’m learning to welcome the uncomfy. Not as a threat, but as a sign that I’m moving.

What’s one ‘uncomfy’ thing you’ve been avoiding that might be the key to your next breakthrough?
