Growth with Kirsten Moore
Watch the talk
Every experience in my past had taught me something I now understood.
People think I build businesses, but really I think I build community.
On the other side of discomfort I've grown into being me.
For too long I've lived at the edge of almost. I was never meant to stay small.
Growth also brings with it grief. Grief for old versions of yourself. Grief for the people and relationships that you lose along the way. Grief for the moments you miss with your kids, friends, and family along the way. Every day required choosing courage over comfort. And I would choose it again. But then comes the joy!
For the first time in my life, I became comfortable with being uncomfortable. When you're uncomfortable you pay attention. And when you pay attention, you start to see opportunities.
The harder truth was, I didn't see myself either.
People were praising me for a life that didn't require anything of me. I felt like I was slowly becoming smaller so that everyone around me could thrive.
