232. Transformative Change: The Delicate Balance of Grit and Grace


Listen Later

Self-improvement is not about perfection, it’s about finding the right balance between pushing yourself and accepting yourself. When pursuing transformative change, there are two seemingly opposite approaches – “Grit” (hard work and critical coaching) and “Grace” (gentle and nurturing self-care). This episode is all about this “Personal Growth Paradox” and the tools and techniques for identifying and effectively balancing self-criticism and self-compassion. 

This episode will help you:

  • Reflect on your current self-talk patterns
    • Recognize that transformation requires BOTH grit and grace
      • Learn to discern when to apply each approach
        • Create a balanced internal dialogue that supports growth
          • Experiment with combining grit and grace in your personal development journey
