This episode is longer than usual, and the topic is a little different than a typical episode, but Diana wants to share an important lesson that was helpful in her life.It’s really tempting to stay in our comfort zone, especially in the past few years, and not add anxiety, worry, or fear to our lives. Diana was told years ago by business coach James Wedmore, “Growth happens out of your comfort zone.” Challenging yourself to be okay with being uncomfortable, whether with something big or little, once a month or once a year, can help you grow. We all want to grow, whether in a business, personally, in parenting, or marriage. Try and think of an area in your life where you can take a tiny uncomfortable step and just sit it in for a while and see how it feels.In this episode, Diana shares times when she went out of her comfort zone in order to grow.We’ll also discuss:Learn more about Diana’s story in Ep001: Meet Diana ReneWhat Diana did at the beginning of creating ‘The Decluttered Mom’ to grow so she could better support moms with her businessDiana talks about a significant investment she made early on in her business and how it led to a recent opportunityHow being accepted to a mastermind group for a business forced Diana out of her comfort zoneWhat can you expect from this podcast and future episodes?15-20 minute episodes to help you tackle your to-do listHow to declutter in an effective and efficient wayGuest interviewsDeep dives on specific topics Get the show notes and transcription here: www.dianarene.com/podcast/ep032Find Diana Rene on social media:Instagram: @the.decluttered.momFacebook: @the.decluttered.momPinterest: @DianaRene Are you ready for a peaceful and clutter-free home?
