71: What's the Point of Personal Development Anyway?

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Why am I still not there yet?” or “How much more work do I need to do?”, this episode is for you.I’m unpacking a pattern I see in myself and in so many others who are on a growth journey: doing all the inner work, yet still feeling like it’s not enough. In this episode, I offer a perspective shift that might help you finally see what’s already changed.In this episode, I share:Why the voice that pushes you to do more might be the one holding you backHow learning to celebrate yourself (especially when you don’t feel like you deserve it) changes everythingWhat self-kindness really looks like when you're struggling or slippingA personal story of what it means to create the safety you never hadWhy your worst moments are the real test, and proof, of your growthThis is a deeply honest conversation about what we’re really searching for when we commit to this path and how to recognise it when it finally starts to arrive.💌Share your story - Book your FREE BFPA* Support Call with me🌟Download your FREE Guide to Stop Skin Picking Using Somatics📝FREE Holistic Skin Picking & Hair Pulling Assessment - (this is no longer available.
