EP 38: Comfort
Show Notes

Light a candle, grab a blanket, and get in your pj’s! In this episode, Jamie, Avery, and Lucy discuss the importance of comfort. We talk about Hygge---the Danish word used to acknowledge a special feeling or moment which involves coziness and comfort. We share what we personally find comforting. We discuss possible downsides to comfort as well as ineffective comfort strategies. We also touch on the topic of “comfort food” and getting outside of one’s “comfort zone.” 

Do try this at home:

  • Do an inventory on what you find comforting. 
  • Give yourself and others permission to intentionally seek comfort.
  • Make space for comfort in your life.
