The Flaw in Personal Development As a Busy Mom

from Behind The Fold · host Rachelle Saevil

In this week’s episode, I’m reflecting on what it really means to want more while also learning to sit in the “enough-ness” of where we already are. As I ease back into work after maternity leave, I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to fall into the cycle of what’s next, from the next milestone, the next client, to the next big win, without ever stopping to acknowledge how far we’ve come.If you’re a mom, an entrepreneur, or both, this is a gentle nudge to rethink the hustle and consider the cost of constant striving. Can ambition and contentment actually live side by side? I believe they can! Here’s what I get into: • 02:08 – Why the personal development space can trick us into always needing to be "better" • 4:23 – The hidden cost of chasing success without reflection or pause • 6:47 – Goal setting through a new lens: are you still aligned with the person who created the plan? • 9:13 – Why I now view contentment and growth as partners, not oppositesThis is your permission slip to reflect instead of push, to celebrate instead of chase, and to remember: you once dreamed of exactly where you are today. I’d love it if you shared your thoughts with me! Leave a review or reach out over on Instagram @rachellesaevil.
