Why do we call it Dancing in the Discomfort Zone?

Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I've had a few people recently ask me, "Why do you call it Dancing in the Discomfort Zone podcast?". It's a great question, and I can't believe that in 317 episodes, I've never explained that! So we dedicated this podcast to explaining why we call it that!
