Get Uncomfortably Close to Your Growth Edge
Episode description
“Dreams worth pursuing will scare you. This thing we call struggle, when understood as growth, is a great gift.” — Lola Wright
What is pushing your buttons? We have an opportunity to learn to develop comfort with our discomfort. It involves familiarizing yourself with your inner growth edge. I'm talking about your inner state. What rattles you? What throws you off? One one of my early teachers, Denise Schubert, would say, “I may have pushed your buttons, but I did not install them.”
On this episode of Find Your Fierce & Loving, I ask you to get close to your personal growth edge. Closer. Uncomfortably close. Ask it to expand your capacity for discomfort. Receive the gifts of your struggle as you become more in tune with yourself and the things you previously could not see - evolution, growth, and expansion.
Tune in and let’s push some buttons. Let’s ask the necessary questions. Let’s get uncomfortably close to your inner growth edge.

Chicago born and built, Lola grew up in wealth and privilege, yet always sensed something was missing. She sought out aliveness and freedom in music, immersing herself in the hip hop and house music scenes of 90s Chicago. After finding herself on her own at 23, as the mother of two young children, she became determined to create a new experience.
Lola is an ordained minister with a gift for weaving together the mystical and material, she served for many years as the CEO of Bodhi Center, an organization committed to personal transformation, collective awakening, conscious activism, and community-building.
