Have you ever found yourself ironing a shirt in the dark, soaking wet with no hot water, and feeling the pressure of a deadline? That's Lee Davy's experience in Montenegro during a power cut, and it's the backdrop for a deep dive into why we turn to alcohol and other escapes. Lee isn't just talking about running from the chaos of a blackout; he's exploring the broader idea of escaping from discomfort in life.
Whether it's alcohol, food, or screens, these distractions often serve as temporary relief from stress and anxiety. But what happens when those escape routes are gone? Lee suggests that facing discomfort head-on can lead to personal growth and peace. He shares how his own moment of crisis reminded him that true serenity is found in presence, not avoidance.
With humour and honesty, Lee encourages you to reflect on what you're running from and what your discomfort might be trying to teach you. He advocates for embracing stillness and finding strength within, rather than relying on external escapes. If you're curious about how to break free from the cycle of avoidance and find genuine peace, this episode might just offer the insights you need.
