Expanding Comfort Zones for Personal Growth

Expanding Comfort Zones for Personal Growth

Today I welcome back Lori Danecke, a dynamic coach skilled in NLP, quantum release process, hypnotherapy, and Reiki. Lori's got an inspiring story about how her life did a 180 when she realized she wasn't living the way she wanted to. Even though on the surface she had the perfect setup—a marriage, kids, and grandkids—something was missing. Three years ago, she dove into personal development, getting herself a coach, setting goals, and ultimately finding the courage to walk away from a life that wasn't making her happy.

Lori talks about how this journey started rather unexpectedly with her wanting to improve her golf game. That drive opened up a whole new realization about how she was relying too much on external achievements for happiness. Once she started focusing on her mindset, things turned around. Now, she helps other women who feel stuck or unheard to recognize their worth and step up their game in life.

We chat about the fear of change—how people often worry about losing friends if they grow and change. But Lori highlights that real friends will back you up no matter what. She’s all about expanding comfort zones gradually, so it feels natural rather than terrifying. This episode is a reassuring reminder that it’s okay to want more from life and to take the steps toward living authentically and happily.
