Why your life hasn't changed (no matter how hard you've tried)
About this episode
Grace Beverley discusses why personal growth efforts may not lead to the expected life changes, featuring insights from guest John Amaechi.
Now I LOVE personal growth, I’m very aware that I have built my career on talking about systems and habits and discipline. But I also know firsthand how frustrating it is when you follow all the steps and nothing really changes at the level you hoped it would. So today I want to go past the ten step lists, not because they are useless, but because they are incomplete on their own, and I want to talk about why your life might not have changed even though you have genuinely been trying really hard.
