How would you describe your current life: awful, okay, or amazing? In this episode, I break down the three distinct stages of personal growth ALL moms go through (what I call Triage, Transformation, and Triumph) so you can identify where you’re at in your own self-development journey and get the tools you need to advance to the next level, regardless of where you’re starting from.
After six+ years of working with overwhelmed women (not to mention my own hard experience dealing with stress & grief), I’ve identified three clear phases of personal development that we ALL go through. Today I want to break those down for you so you know what they are, what their signs and symptoms are, the root problem in each phase, and of course a host of solutions to help you progress OUT of that phase as quickly as possible. Along the way, I’ll also share a bit of my own journey to give you concrete examples and NORMALIZE the kinds of challenges you face in each one.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- How normal it is to go through hard times—and how to actually get out of them faster
- Actionable steps to progress from triage to transformation to triumph
- The problem with the standard productivity and personal development advice out there (i.e., why getting a new planner or adopting a new time management system won’t help)
- Why you’re never fully “arrived” and a new way to conceive of setbacks that keeps you focused on moving upwards, even if you technically “go back” a phase or two (which you inevitably will—multiple times, in fact!)
- Why being in the Triumph phase is actually the most dangerous and limiting of them all
