Summary

In this episode, let’s discuss the importance of recognizing and celebrating personal growth. Reflecting on past conversations with coaching students, I explore three key signs that show how much you've evolved: pausing before reacting even when hurt, becoming open to alternative viewpoints, and feeling and validating your emotions. Alongside these insights, we discuss the impact of sharing emotions with safe individuals and re-evaluating your social circle for healthier relationships.

We have been very attuned to keep our focus on our shortcomings but rarely do we allow ourselves to celebrate the progress that we’ve been making in our inner work.

Tune in to learn how to acknowledge your progress, appreciate your journey, and break unhealthy patterns for a better tomorrow.

In this episode, we cover…

0:17.4	they are into and what is already there is to bring it out.

0:26.0	whatever means necessary.
0:28.6	Well, to the Black Girl Tale Podcast where we talk about healing our intimacy disorders and

1:00.6	So in today's episode, we are doing the throwback episode to something that I posted three years ago.
1:07.2	Sometimes when I do recall episodes it is wild to me to be able to say that there was an episode that was
1:13.2	posted three years ago that has not been repeated with all the content that has
1:17.9	been put out here but I thought that this topic is a great one to focus on because it is about three ways to know that you have

1:31.1	change, to transform, it is so important for us to pause and to celebrate and so we are going to do a
1:37.0	throwback episode today because it's worth reminding ourselves to pause and to just live in the blessings and look at the big steps that we have made and own it.
