About this listen

Comfort feels safe… but what if it’s actually the thing holding you back?

In this raw journal-style episode of Glowing Anyway, Alyssa opens up about the moments she clung to comfort... staying in draining jobs, entertaining “almost relationships,” and holding onto routines that made her feel in control but kept her small.

Through honest storytelling and bestie-level encouragement, she unpacks how comfort can slowly turn into a cage, keeping you stuck in situations that look stable on the outside but suffocate your growth on the inside.

You’ll hear:
✨ The difference between comfort and true peace
✨ How to recognize when “safe” has become your cage
✨ Stories of choosing growth over staying small
✨ Reflection prompts & affirmations to help you break free


If you’ve been settling for what feels familiar, this episode will remind you: comfort isn’t your calling. The cage is open and you’re free to fly. You can't grow in life by staying in your comfort cage.
