Episode 29- When Personal Growth Is Hard

In this episode of "An Incomplete Guide to Personal Growth" Sydney and Kelly explore what makes personal growth hard.

• Conscious effort to make a change
• Honest with yourself and butting up against the "not so pretty" part of us
• It is like building muscle strength...there is pain
• It is embracing the whole of us, it isn't about perfection
• The process of growth takes time
• Other people may not like our personal growth
• Care for yourself
• We get to participate in new beginnings
