#469 | What the Growth Journey Actually Feels Like
In this episode of Evolve Ventures, we challenge the fantasy version of growth and talk honestly about what the journey actually feels like. We speak to the frustration, emotional swings, and moments that make people want to quit, and why those moments are not a sign you are failing. This conversation is for growth-minded humans who want real change, not surface-level motivation.
If you have ever wondered why healing feels harder than promised, this episode will reset your expectations and sharpen your resolve. Press play, stay with the discomfort, and choose the version of your life that most people quit before reaching.
