The self-help industry promises transformation, but how do you know if you're actually growing—or just stuck in an endless cycle of books, courses, and motivational speeches?
In this episode, we dive into:
✅ The biggest red flags in self-help that signal you're being manipulated
✅ How to avoid the “self-improvement trap” that keeps you from taking real action
✅ The power of community and why going it alone can be a huge mistake
✅ The surprising link between self-help and shame (and how to break free)
✅ Practical ways to approach self-growth that actually lead to long-term change
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by personal development or questioned whether you're on the right path, this conversation will help you rethink your approach and create a growth strategy that works for you.
