Episode 167: 5 Things No One Tells You About Personal Development


Listen Later

With the new year approaching there’s so much talk of goals, resolutions and words of the year. If reaching your potential and creating life on your terms is important to you, you’re probably somewhere on your personal development journey already. And while growth, learning and new possibilities are all oh-so-exciting, there are some aspects of ‘doing the work’ that are a little less appealing…


In this episode I’m breaking down some of the truths that aren’t always talked about front and centre in the self improvement space. Does this mean I’m suggesting it’s not worth it? Not at all! But forewarned is forearmed, and knowing what bumps may lie ahead might just make it that bit easier for you to move through them.

I’ll be sharing:

  • When you ‘need’ to work on your development
  • Why simple and easy aren’t the same thing
  • Why it’s ok if you don’t know ‘exactly’ what to do
  • If you can tell you’re on track
  • My thoughts about long term commitment to the process
