Episode 53 — Growing Edges: Trusting My Inner Compass
In this episode, I dive into a powerful idea at the center of personal transformation — our growing edges. These are the areas of our lives where we feel friction, discomfort, misalignment, or repeated patterns that keep showing up. Instead of seeing these moments as obstacles, I explore how they are actually invitations to evolve and discover who we’re becoming.
I talk about how growth starts by recognizing these edges, then choosing to lean in with courage and self-awareness. When I listen to my inner compass — not cultural noise, not groupthink, not the expectations of others — I can see what life is trying to teach me. I share how shedding old identities, unlearning outdated beliefs, and showing up authentically help us move from surviving to thriving.
I also break down how happiness can’t be chased. It’s not a destination. It shows up naturally when we focus on meaning, contribution, presence, and living in alignment with our values. And with reflection, journaling, and small daily actions, our growing edges become the place where confidence, clarity, and fulfillment begin.
If you’re feeling stuck or on the edge of something new, this episode will help you understand the friction — and use it to create a life rooted in truth, resilience, and purpose.
Quick Highlights
- What growing edges are
- How to identify them
- How to lean into discomfort with purpose
- Why authenticity matters
- How to stop chasing happiness and build meaning instead
- The hedonic treadmill explained
- Using journaling + reflection to turn growth into thriving
