The Recalibration

#29 Why Growth Feels So Slow (Even When You’re Doing the Work)


Listen Later

If you’re doing the work but feel stuck, burned out, or frustrated that you’re not seeing results, this episode is for you. Learn why real growth often feels slow — and how to trust what’s happening beneath the surface.

Doing all the right things but still not seeing the breakthrough? You’re not failing — you’re recalibrating. This episode explores why true transformation often feels quiet, what happens when your nervous system starts rewiring, and how to trust the slower rhythms of identity-aligned growth. Includes a personal story, neuroscience insight, a founder example, and a grounded recalibration practice.


In This Episode, We Cover:

  • Why progress often feels invisible when you’re growing from identity

  • The neuroscience behind quiet seasons of transformation

  • How to tell the difference between emotional adrenaline and calibrated trust

  • Julie’s behind-the-scenes experience of building the ILR pathway in stillness

  • What founder Melissa Urban did during her “invisible” years

  • Why small, quiet shifts build sustainable growth

  • How to stay steady when the results haven’t caught up yet


Today’s Micro-Recalibration
Ask yourself:

  • Where am I equating quiet with failure?

  • What has shifted internally that I haven’t acknowledged yet?

  • What would it look like to honor my growth — even if no one else sees it?


Progress isn’t always visible — but that doesn’t mean it’s not real.
