Welcome back to The Uncensored Self Podcast.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing ten (okay, nine) powerful things I wish I had known at the beginning of my personal development journey. This isn’t a list of surface-level tips—it’s a deep, reflective walk through the realizations that would’ve saved me years of struggling, self-doubt, and trying to follow someone else’s “right way.”
In this episode, we cover:
Why your journey likely started earlier than you think
The myth of “the right way” to grow, heal, or succeed
How logic disconnects you from your intuition
What meditation is really about (and what it’s not)
Why nothing in your life is a coincidence
The difference between hard work and aligned work
How identity—not strategy—creates reality
The trap of trying to fix yourself
Why your biggest lessons will keep coming back (and that’s not a problem)
This episode isn’t just about personal growth—it’s about reclaiming your power, trusting yourself, and finally seeing yourself as the creator of your reality.
Watch now and learn how to:
Find peace with your timeline and your starting point
Release the belief that someone else knows better than you
Strengthen your intuition and stop outsourcing your decisions
Get off the treadmill of doing and shift into intentional being
