Self Development Collective

Changing Your Life (And Why It Can Be A Struggle)


Listen Later

🎧 Hi there! I'm so excited to share this episode with you where I dive into why changing your life through personal development can feel so impossible sometimes. After taking almost a year off to have my baby and study, I've been thinking deeply about why some self development ideas around changing your life often leave us feeling more stuck than before.

In this episode, I share my own journey with changing my life - from standing in a parking lot trying desperately to "think positive" at 20 years old, to discovering why these strategies weren't helping me grow. I talk about:

  • Why replacing challenging thoughts with gratitude lists isn't always the path to changing your life
  • How our "negative" parts often serve important protective functions
  • What happened when I started reading psychotherapy books to help myself change
  • Why understanding ourselves is more powerful than trying to force change
  • How I'm bridging complex psychological concepts into simple, actionable strategies through The Self Development Collective to support inner growth
  • This episode is perfect if you've ever felt frustrated with advice that tells you to "just think positive" or "eliminate your inner critic" when changing your life.

    I'm releasing new episodes every two weeks, bringing you accessible strategies based on powerful psychological concepts. Because I believe changing your life starts with truly understanding ourselves.
