Let’s be real—when someone is teaching success, happiness, or personal growth, don’t we expect them to have mastered it themselves?

Yet even the biggest names in self-help struggle with the very things they teach. So, does that make them frauds, or does it actually make them more relatable? More importantly, what should we really expect from our motivational leaders?

In this episode of The Uplevel Together Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the self-help industry. Are we being guided toward real transformation, or just learning to manage our struggles? Should personal development leaders embody mastery, or is authenticity enough? And how do we filter out the noise to find advice that actually leads to change?

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a whole new perspective on who you take advice from—and whether they’re helping you grow or just keeping you stuck in an endless loop of self-improvement.
