Comfort Via Discomfort

Real People. Real Stories. Real Vulnerability. The CVD podcast features stories of how people from around the world have gotten to where they are today. We strip down what we can see about them online to really understand what happens behind the scenes. We talk about the challenges, triumphs, traumas, and experiences that have shaped who they are today and contributed to what they've accomplished. We dive deep into understanding how they've embraced discomfort and vulnerability throughout their lives, how they've built the confidence to live authentically, and what advice they have for someone that either feels stuck in life or simply wants more. These episodes are meant to inspire you to build the life of your dreams one step at a time and to show you that you're not alone in your struggles. No matter where you are in life, even if you feel totally stuck, you can take a step forward and change anything you want by leaning into discomfort and vulnerability. The only way to be comfortable is to be uncomfortable first.

Adam Boismier

My name is Adam Boismier and I am from Tecumseh, Ontario. I live in Alabama with my wife Shelby and our cat, Roma.

I live by the saying, “If you are willing to do only what’s easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy. Choose your hard.”

I had a huge fear of failure growing up and ran away when things got difficult or uncomfortable. I never developed the skills to deal with discomfort and stress, which led me to attempt suicide in 2013.

Since then, I’ve started doing the hard things. I’ve intentionally pushed myself out of my comfort zone on a regular basis the last 5+ years so I can learn how my body reacts to stress and how to get passed it.

This method has completely changed my mindset and my life. I now have the confidence to be 100% myself and to pursue the things I really want in life, like launching and hosting this podcast.

My mission now is to help others do the same.
