The PowerHouse Collective: The Importance of Sitting With Discomfort

By Jenny Evans @PowerHousePC

I ask Cara McNulty (Head of Population Health & Team Member Wellness for Target Corporation – full bio below) what challenges her sense of confidence and what she does when it happens. She talks about the importance of sitting with discomfort and how it helps her make better, more authentic decisions. Easy to say – hard to do! What challenges your confidence and what do you do when it happens?
