The UnLearners

Season 2: Episode 34 - Don't ask for change if you're not ready for it

Change & Transformation have a DARK SIDE...

We have all come face to face with it & in many cases, it is what gets in the way of lasting change taking place in our lives.

We might say we want growth and newness, but very often we are not ready to receive and hold the change.

From the demands that come with the new version of us, to the commitment and discipline it may take to maintain - sometimes you are just not ready!!!

In this episode, Zanele Njapha (The UnLearning Lady), explores the dark side of change & transformation and shares exciting ways to begin getting ready for the changes and growth we say we want in our lives.

This episode will share;

• Why you cannot manifest lasting change if you are not ready for it

• Why we so often sabotage our own growth

• How to prepare for the changes you want

• Inspiration and motivation to help you receive the transformation you've been wanting
