PODCAST Episode #6 WILD: I Like the Taste of Grass

FEARLESS WILD CREATIVE PODCAST with Meghan Aileen

Every episode has a theme of either FEARLESS, WILD OR CREATIVE. This is a WILD episode so it has a nature element to it.

EPISODE #6 I Like the Taste of Grass

What if the very thing you’ve been avoiding — the bitter, uncomfortable, awkward part of life — is actually the medicine you need?

In this WILD episode, Meghan Aileen dives into the idea that discomfort isn’t the enemy — it’s actually the place where resilience, creativity, and fearlessness are born. Using her love for bitter foods and herbal remedies as a metaphor, Meghan shares how our culture’s obsession with comfort, convenience, and sweetness can keep us from building the strength we truly need.

You’ll hear:

Why bitter herbs and “grass-tasting” remedies are a perfect metaphor for life and creativity

How comfort culture keeps us from growing, and what resilience really requires

The science of bitter taste (and why it often means potency + healing)

Mindset shifts to help you reframe discomfort as growth instead of danger

Practical examples of how to train yourself to embrace the uncomfortable

Why creativity always lives at the edge of comfort

Takeaway: Sometimes the medicine we need doesn’t taste good — but that’s how you know it’s working. Learning to be okay with discomfort is one of the wildest and most powerful ways to expand your creativity and build fearless resilience.

Challenge for this week: Do one thing that’s uncomfortable but not harmful. Drink the bitter tea, have the hard conversation, walk barefoot outside, or try something you’ve been resisting. Notice how quickly your body and mind adapt once you stop labeling discomfort as danger.
