It’s so natural for us to invest our time and energy into giving back to others–we’ve been taught that it’s more noble to prioritize other people over ourselves. But what are the benefits of investing in yourself? When you prioritize personal transformation, you open the door to better serving others as well.
In this episode, we explore how being an achiever, a do-gooder, and someone who truly wants to help and serve can create a beautiful hidden path to what you’re craving. Your desire to help others can be the very gateway to your own personal growth, development, and fulfillment of purpose.
We often feel guilty focusing on ourselves when we could be helping someone else. But your personal transformation has a direct impact on everyone around you. When you work on achieving your potential, you’re better able to show up for others in every area of your life. Today, I’ll share questions you can use to help you understand the benefits of investing in yourself, along with examples of the beautiful returns that happen for both you and the people around you when you take the leap to focus on your growth.
The fact of the matter is: When you take the reins and create the life you want–when you harness the power of your own growth and development, and allow your gifts to be big, bright, and bold–you can't help but impact other people. That's why one of my favorite parts of Master Coach training is watching my clients change their lives – whether it's through a formal coaching business, a leadership position, or within their own relationships. The ripple effect of personal transformation is truly powerful.
As you listen, I want you to think about the power you have to give to others so generously with your light and energy when you, yourself, are fulfilled.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
