The Personal Growth Project

just an unfiltered chat on how creation is key to happiness in our task-obsessed, ai-obsessed, speed-obsessed society. this is something that has made a huge impact on my personal happiness, and i hope that it can make you think about creating too. -avigailCONNECT WITH ME:follow me on instagram:   / abundancewithavigail  book a 1:1 coaching call with me: https://stan.store/abundancewithavigailbuy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/avigaillaingread my newsletter: https://www.newsletter.avigaillaing.com/read my tweets: https://x.com/AvigailLaing

so many of us carry shame about “laziness.” we think we’re procrastinators. unmotivated. unproductive.

but what if you’re not lazy at all? what if what you’re calling laziness is actually spiritual warfare?

in this episode, we’re unpacking the deeper truth behind resistance. how the enemy uses stagnancy, distraction, and discouragement to keep you from walking in your purpose. how the very things you beat yourself up for might be signs that you’re on the verge of something powerful.

you were born to change the world—but of course the enemy doesn’t want that.

i’ll also share a few ways i’ve learned to break out of this fog and realign with the divine mission over my life. if you’ve been stuck, this is your reminder: it’s not your fault. but it is your responsibility to fight back.

if you're ready to rise again and reclaim your fire, this episode is for you.

we’ve talked so much about the benefits of feminine energy when it comes to creativity, productivity, love, and abundance in your life.

in this highly requested episode, we finally talk about all the things you should be looking for if you are deciding on whether someone is worth dating or not.

these are all of the things that, from my experience, actually matter if you’re looking for long-term happiness & compatibility.

using this list should help you get a better sense of what to look for if you haven’t found someone yet, and if you have, it should help you analyze your relationship to see if it has what you need to be happy.

either way, there’s a lot of value in this episode for everyone. hope you enjoy!

(disclaimer: the album mentioned is "moonlight in paris," not "midnight in paris"...i must have been tired when recording this *sigh*)

there is a common misconception that being productive is inherent to masculinity, but this is not true. 

many women approach productivity with a masculine mindset, but this results in burnout, difficulties, and droughts of motivation.

tapping into feminine energy is the key to effortless, joyful productivity.

this is the difference between floating down the river of life and swimming against the current of life.

here are all my tips for feminine productivity.

thank you so much for all your support.
