| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody and welcome to Coach's Corner. You just got me this week and I want to talk to you |
| 0:08.4 | today about the ways personal development may not be helping you. First of all, I want to say |
| 0:14.4 | that I love personal development. Obviously, it's my work, it's my passion. The whole self-help |
| 0:22.2 | psychological spirituality world has been my mission for years and not only have I been coaching |
| 0:28.4 | people for over 17 years but I've been a client and a student for much longer than that. I started |
| 0:33.2 | therapy around 12 years old or maybe even younger, I can't even remember and have just devoured |
| 0:38.8 | everything personal development I could get my hands on and I think it's so helpful and I love |
| 0:43.8 | that right now at this time in the world we have access to so much information when it comes to |
| 0:49.6 | our healing and growth. It's unbelievable, even maybe overwhelming at times and that's amazing. |
| 0:56.4 | So I just want to say that right off the bat, like it's a great industry, I love being a part |

| 1:23.6 | like you're not doing it right or even traumatized by anything related to personal |
| 1:27.9 | development from therapy to plant medicine to all the things that are out there, |
| 1:32.4 | I hope this episode brings you some comfort and if you haven't been, well then I hope this |
| 1:37.3 | episode provides some sisterly cautionary advice as you continue on your journey. |
| 1:44.1 | Now, like I said, I am not here to bash the industry that has provided me with a job and a |
| 1:49.1 | lifestyle that I love but rather just provide you some information so you can make sure you get the |
| 1:55.0 | very, very best experience with your growth, healing and evolution journey. I've seen a lot over |
| 2:01.1 | the years as both a practitioner and a client and I've learned some big lessons from going down |
| 2:08.8 | some personal development tracks that didn't lead me to the best place and I've made mistakes too |
