The Pod

Sometimes what we call our “comfort zone” isn’t comfort at all.
It’s cortisol.

When you’ve been stressed for a long time, your nervous system starts craving familiarity, not growth. Routine feels calming—not because it fulfills you, but because it doesn’t demand anything new from you.

So you stay where you are.
Not because you’re truly content.
But because your body is tired and wants safety.

That’s how the comfort zone can quietly turn into a trap—one that keeps you steady, but also keeps you stuck. It can look like peace while slowly pulling the brakes on your progress.

Growth doesn’t always feel good right away. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable because your nervous system is learning that expansion is safe again.

If you’ve been feeling “fine” but also a little stagnant, it might be worth asking:
Am I actually content…
or just well-regulated in a space I’ve outgrown?

We shared these in Cortisol Reset on Monday 😋😍

Not a fan of breakfast?
Struggle to eat much in the mornings?

I shared these in Cortisol Reset last night...

The perfect mini snack, packed with energy and natural goodness! Great if your appetite is small in the morning but you still want to fuel your body and be ready for your day 😋😍

I love them for a mid morning pick me up instead of a biccy with my cup of tea ☕️
