How can you tell when you or someone you lead has reached an edge while pursuing a big goal? In this episode, Morgan Staten shares personal and client stories about moments when growth felt uncomfortable, from booking a retreat to reaching a new revenue milestone. She explores how stress, conflict, or physical symptoms may show up around those moments, and offers a reflection exercise to help you notice what story your body may be telling you about moving past a limit. She also discusses how coaches and leaders can use this awareness to support their clients and teams.
