I once read somewhere that to cure acid reflux, you should eat lemons. Lemons. The internet stays on some wild advice, so naturally, I rolled my eyes. Fight acid with acid? Be so fucking for real.

But here’s the gag—ever since I swapped my morning coffee for hot lemon water, my heartburn has vanished. Like, completely. Am I surprised? Absolutely.

It got me thinking friend, how often do we avoid what we think will make things worse, only to realize it’s exactly what we needed? We dodge challenges, fearing they’ll break us, when in reality, they refine us. We resist discomfort, but sometimes leaning into it is what leads to real relief.

Sometimes, the best way to fight fire… is with fire. The pain? Face it. The fear? Walk through it. The doubt? Prove it wrong.

Growth isn’t always comfortable, but neither is staying stuck. So whatever you’re avoiding because it seems too much, consider this: maybe, just maybe, it’s your way through.
