How To Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone With Todd Payne

Dr. Kim R. Grimes and relationship-coach Todd Payne reveal how hidden “comfort-zone” patterns keep us stuck and why real growth—whether rebuilding after a wildfire or launching a new dream—demands stepping past them. Using the Enneagram, Todd shows couples (and listeners) how to spot these mental bars, replace fear with empathy, and build change through tiny wins. The episode ends with Dr. Kim’s five-step challenge: take one small risk, name the fear, picture the payoff, get an accountability buddy, and celebrate every micro-victory—because hope, not safety, is the engine of unapologetic progress.
