EP 034 - You need to prioritize your self care, because no one else will do it for you w/ Liseth Velez Artwork

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.

EP 034 - You need to prioritize your self care, because no one else will do it for you w/ Liseth Velez

May 22, 2023 • Adam Boismier • Episode 34

The Comfort Via Discomfort podcast is 1-year old! To celebrate this milestone and to honor all the guests and supporters of this show, we’re counting down the top 10 episodes from our first year.

Here is #7 with Liseth Velez!

——

After serving in the Army and United States Air Force for 8 years, Liseth went into liquor sales and is now Founder and CEO of LJV Development, a general contracting company that serves all of New England.

She is also a Board Member of a non-profit organization called LIT Conversations, which provides high school students the opportunity to speak with professionals in STEM careers to help them make better decisions for their future.

In this episode, Liseth and I talk a lot about mental health. We didn’t expect to spend so much time on this topic, but hey, it just goes to show how important it really is.

Liseth talks about how a deployment to Djibouti, Africa really changed her perspective and who she was as a person. When she returned home from this deployment, she realized that something wasn’t right and decided to seek help because she knew she couldn’t live her life that way.

She also tells me how she combined her experience in the Army and Air Force with her passion for sales and construction to form her dream company 🔥
