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 035 - From a suicide attempt to Comfort Via Discomfort... how we got here w/ me, Adam Boismier

May 29, 2023 • Adam Boismier • Episode 35

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 #6 with me, Adam Boismier!

——

Yes, I attempted suicide in 2013. Since then, intentionally getting outside of my comfort zone and learning how to be vulnerable have completely changed my mindset and have saved my life. It's now my mission to normalize conversations that we don't have in public and to help others embrace discomfort and vulnerability so they can live their best life.

In this episode I discuss:

My mindset in 2013 and what led to my suicide attempt
Why I decided to make 2018 my “Year of Discomfort” and how this “mental bootcamp” changed my life forever
How my friends, family, and even strangers helped me embrace discomfort
Why I started sharing stories of other people online
How a traumatic event in 2019 helped me understand the progress I had made
How therapy helped me to be open and vulnerable with my family and friends
How all of these experiences empowered me to be my authentic self
Why I'll never go back to avoiding discomfort

Now, I embrace discomfort and vulnerability on a regular basis and use it to pursue the life of my dreams. My hope is that the stories featured on this podcast help you to do the same.

You are beautiful because you are YOU!

You are worthy, you are wonderful, and you matter!

I am more than happy to connect with you, answer any questions you have, talk about what you're going through, and/or learn more about your story 😁
