Self-awareness and self-development are not the same thing - they are incredibly different. Think about all those books you've read - you "know" the information now, but have you put any of it into practice? What about that new habit you took on - did it bring you the vitality you were looking for, or did it silently leave the room? Now imagine if you DID implement the things you learned in the book, combining self-awareness (what you read) with the actions you took (self-development). Big difference, right?
Whether you're new to the self-development journey or deep in it, it is incredibly important to understand how these two concepts show up, how well we are focusing on both, and how to marry them together in a way that allows us to truly find the results we are looking for.

EP#065: Traversing thru the Seasons of Your LIfe
Do you struggle with change? Do you find yourself rejecting times of transition? Are you stuck in a certain season of life? Are you even aware of what season you are in right now? Inspired by the arrival of fall, we felt like this was the perfect time to unpack the concept of transition and change. Because like the seasons show us, change can be difficult. Transition can be even more difficult. And as humans, we tend to make it even more difficult by actually rejecting times of change. Our goal with this episode was to get into the raw experience of change, to unpack why it can be so difficult, and to share what we have done to create a smoother transition for ourselves as we both are currently navigating a ton of change in our own personal lives. Because as we continue to learn, holding on to what was prevents us from seeing what could be possible.
