Ep 52: The 3 Stages of Personal Growth

Becoming your best self sounds SO appealing. But what’s rarely talked about is the process you have to go through to get there - and that it’s not rainbows and butterflies. I’ve been a personal development addict for at least 5 years now and have found that I typically cycle through 3 stages as I continue to improve myself - discovery, implementation and recalibration (aka stagnation). I thought it might be helpful to share this so that when it feels like you’ve taken a few steps back, you’ll know that nothing has gone wrong. It’s just part of the process. I also thought it would be helpful in the sense that it will get you reflecting on what stage of personal growth you’re currently in and perhaps a few of the reasons why you’re not seeing the kind of change that you’re hoping for.  I hope you find the episode helpful!
