Heart to Heart:
Jodi Silverman is a certified life coach who’s here to walk beside you with encouragement and support. That said, she’s not a therapist or medical professional.

Being a Dad
Is your comfort zone holding you back from the life—and parenthood—you truly want?
Today, I’m joined by Tim Conniff—keynote speaker, clean comedian, and proud dad—for an inspiring and entertaining conversation about midlife reinvention, fatherhood, and what it really means to step into your purpose with courage and humor.
With over 30 years of experience in sales, training, and leadership in corporate America, Tim now takes the stage across the country delivering his signature keynote, “Your Comfort Zone Is No Joke!” Through his blend of clean comedy and practical wisdom, he encourages audiences to rethink failure, challenge their limits, and live with intention.
In this episode, we talk about getting out of your comfort zone 🎤, viewing failure as valuable feedback 🔁, and the surprising power of ditching negative self-talk 🧠. Tim also shares what fatherhood has taught him about presence, patience, and growth through every season.
Your Dare for the Week ❤️
Make a list of 10 things you want to try. Think about what you used to enjoy doing, what you’ve always thought about doing and what others are doing that you think, “that looks like something I would enjoy.”
Or head to Tim’s website and ask him to send you his copy of 25 Ways to Step out Of Your Comfort zone.
