The Pain in Our Comfortable Shoes

In episode 18, host Erin Cummings reflects on the concept of bearing with discomfort in life and how people often tolerate pain or challenges until they become almost "bearable." Erin draws parallels between this experience and broader life situations, emphasizing the importance of recognizing when one is merely "rubbing a blister" in various aspects of life and not addressing the underlying issues. She encourages listeners to identify areas where they may be tolerating discomfort and offers a reminder to take action or establish boundaries when needed. 

The discussion is lighthearted and metaphorical, tying the theme to personal growth and decision-making. The episode ends with a mention of Halloween and upcoming November, leaving listeners with a message of courage, capability, and strength.
