Doing Hard Things
In this episode of the Lean Out Podcast, Dawn Baker reads Chapter 9 of Lean Out: A Professional Woman's Guide to Finding Authentic Work-Life Balance. This chapter is titled, "Doing Hard Things."
Doing hard things is not about gritting your teeth, suffering, proving something to someone or being a badass. It's about leaving your comfort zone and embracing challenge for the enjoyment of the challenge. It’s about reminding yourself that you’ve done hard things and you will do them again. Leaning out will involve discomfort, and you’ll be ready for it because you will have practiced.
This chapter also profiles Dr. Kara Pepper, who leaned out with her own specialty micropractice and now teaches other physicians how to do the same.
