You know better - so why is it still so hard to change? If awareness was supposed to make things easier, why does healing sometimes feel more frustrating than before?

In this episode, we’re talking about the part of growth no one prepares you for: the discouraging middle, where you know what isn’t working but don’t yet feel different. The stage where you’re more aware, more intentional, and somehow still struggling.

I’ll walk you through the four stages of competence and show you how this learning framework maps directly onto the healing process - especially in parenting and relationships.

We’ll talk about why growth isn’t linear, why effort doesn’t mean failure, and how real transformation actually unfolds over time.

If you’ve ever thought:
• “I should be further along by now”
• “Why do I still get triggered if I’ve done so much work?”
• “What am I missing?”

This episode will help you understand where you are in the process - and why it makes so much sense.
