Alyssa and Rachel Burr talk about what real transformation looks like, far beyond the feel good quotes online. Rachel shares the story behind her book Butterfly Goo and explains why change often starts the moment you admit you are on the wrong path. This episode is worth a listen if you feel stuck, half committed, or unsure how to take the first step toward something new.
Key takeaways
- Transformation is messy, but the mess is part of the process.
- You can leave any path, even if you have invested years into it.
- You build your path by knowing your values, not by waiting for perfect timing.
