Expand Your Bubble
Your comfort zone is a prison of your own making
While all the lessons inside Benchmarks are Bullshit are time-tested and childfree Latina-approved, this is the one that is likely the scariest.
Expand your bubble. When I first wrote it, it was about expansion. Now I’ll argue you need to pop it. Let go of that gilded cage!
This is about the version of you that's still waiting behind a door you've been too comfortable to open.
It's about using curiosity to keep exploring and evolving. And it's about busting yourself out of the prison you've been calling a comfort zone, because safe and comfortable were never the same thing.
Ready for your prison break?
Episode Description
Closing out Healing Girl Summer with the very last lesson in Benchmarks are Bullshit: expand your bubble. This is also the last stop on the childfree Latina podcast’s summer series, and it’s about the moment you realize your comfort zone isn’t keeping you safe. In fact, it’s a prison of your own making.
Let’s bust you out of prison! You can be safe AND uncomfortable. That’s how you become a more interesting person, how you evolve, and how you shake off the toxic cultural norms that taught you to stay small and stay calladita. All it requires is a little curiosity.
From trying spicy foods, to going wild with pizza, to becoming the Mexican Madonna, you don’t have to feel ready. You don’t even have to be ready. You only have to be curious.
Key takeaways:
Comfort and safety are not the same thing
Curiosity beats training and technique
You don’t have to feel ready to start
