Growth is the Point

Stories about stepping outside of the safe and complacent

Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone

It is so easy to get caught up in the routine of life and become complacent in our safe spaces. Making a conscious effort to get out of my comfort zone has presented me with so many opportunities to learn, grow and experience the world; and I want that for everyone. Because growth is the point!

Stepping outside your comfort zone doesn’t always go how we’d hope. But in the very least you may get a good story from it! I plan to share my boundary-pushing stories, ranging from travel, dating, career experiences, and more, with you here.

About Me

My name is Lauren Shores and I am a data scientist for a major corporation. I’m also the first person in my family to go away to college, the first person to get a master’s degree, and the first person to possess a passport. I’m a career-changer, a homeowner, and a single black woman (still working on the single part, lol). I’ve come a long way and am still putting in work.

When I’m not being a data nerd using data to explore issues of personal interest such as food, race, and cities, I enjoy eating tasty and interesting food, reading, movies, travel, and of course, trying new things. Connect with me.
