I’ve learned something powerful over the years – growth doesn’t wait for us in the places we already know. It meets us just beyond the edges of comfort, where things feel a little unfamiliar, maybe even intimidating.
Think about the times you’ve grown the most. It probably wasn’t when life felt easy and predictable. Maybe it was when you walked into a new class, nervous but curious. Or when you stepped into a gym for the first time, unsure of what to do but willing to figure it out. It might’ve been that moment when you decided to book a solo trip, or the first time you tried something completely new – something that scared you just a little.
That’s the thing about growth – it asks us to stretch, to lean into the unknown. And while it can feel uncomfortable, it’s also where some of the most rewarding experiences happen.
I see it on our retreats all the time. Women show up not knowing what to expect. Maybe they’ve never surfed before, or they haven’t practiced yoga in years. There’s hesitation, but there’s also something else – this quiet desire to grow, to expand, to experience life in a different way. By the end of the week, they’re catching waves, laughing, connecting, and glowing in a way that only happens when you let yourself step outside of your routine.
Growth doesn’t have to be big, dramatic, or loud. It can start with small, intentional choices – signing up for that class you’ve been eyeing, joining a new community, or simply saying “yes” to something that feels different. Each step builds on the next, and before you know it, you’re standing in a version of yourself that feels stronger, more vibrant, and more aligned.
If there’s something you’ve been thinking about doing – even if it feels a little scary – take this as your sign. Personal growth is waiting. All you have to do is take that first step.
And if you’re ready to lean into adventure, connection, and joy, you know where to find us. Let’s grow together.
Ready to step outside your comfort zone and grow? Join us on our next Radiate and Ride Retreat – where adventure meets self-discovery.
With love,
