It's Uncomfortable - Do It Anyway!

In this episode of the Pod, we discuss what travel, and
specifically solo travel, has taught us about unlocking our
power, confidence, and sense of self.  We emphasize how
we've learned that new or unfamiliar experiences can be
uncomfortable, but that by stepping into discomfort we've learned
surprising things about ourselves and life that we wouldn't have
discovered otherwise.  


“The hardest thing to do is leaving your comfort zone. But you
have to let go of the life you’re familiar with and take the risk
to live the life you dream about.” T. Arigo


College is the time to explore and discover who you are and want
to be, and we want students to make the most of their experience.
 Challenging yourself to step into discomfort can be part of
doing that.  Also, we discuss how we're coping with COVID
and wonder "is there light in the darkness [of COVID]?"  In
other words, what have been some unexpected positives we've
noticed during this worldwide pandemic.  And, Dr. Scott
prompts us to speculate "who is struggling more during COVID -
introverts or extroverts?"


We discuss CAPS services and seeking help, detailing how students
can connect to CAPS during this time of COVID, when all CAPS
usual services are being offered virtually online via Zoom and
first contact with CAPS is being done by calling CAPS and
completing a phone screen.  Finally, we end the Pod with our
segment entitled "Just Stop It!"  Join us for a conversation
that we really enjoyed getting to have.
