Self Development Collective
Welcome to the Self Development Collective, a podcast that gets real about personal growth and self help in a way that actually feels achievable. I’m here to share my own journey and the things I’ve learned along the way - from the overwhelming moments to the breakthrough realizations that changed everything. Each episode, we dive deep into those real life experiences that shape us, and I share practical insights that have helped me (and hopefully will help you) navigate this whole personal development journey. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to figure out your next step, this is a space where we can explore that together. Here’s what we explore in the podcast: Values and Authentic Growth - We get honest about what actually matters to us (not just what we think should matter). I share my own journey of discovering how living aligned with our true values changes everything, especially when it comes to setting goals and creating meaningful change Life Transitions and Finding Our Way - Together we explore those big life moments that shake everything up, from grief and loss to feeling completely lost about our direction. I share really personal stories about my own experiences and what I’ve learned about finding our way through Emotional Wellbeing and Inner Work - We dive into the real stuff - managing our inner critic, dealing with overwhelm, and learning how to show up for ourselves in a way that feels authentic and sustainable Connection and Relationships - Let’s talk about building genuine connections (with ourselves and others), setting boundaries that actually work, and navigating those tricky relationship moments that we all face Living with Intention - We explore how to create a life that feels meaningful to us, not just checking boxes or following someone else’s shoulds. I share practical ways to align our daily choices with what truly matters to us This is a space where we can get real about personal development, share those vulnerable moments, and figure out together what it means to create a life that feels genuinely meaningful.

Every one of us has a plan or an idea of how our life is going to be. We set goals and expect to achieve them in a certain way. BUT life doesn't always go to plan does it?For me, I never expected to live the life I'm living now. I often say to people, if someone had told me this was where I was going to be, I wouldn't have believed them.
This is what I focus on in this episode.
When we go through changes in our lives like the loss of a partner, a sibling, a friend, a job, a situation - anything where we're faced with a situation we never saw coming and can't imagine ever coming out of it ok.
These are the steps I've taken to learn what to do when life doesn't go to plan and how to create my new version of ok.

When we think about creating change in our lives, a lot of us first think of goals. But I’ve found in my own journey that it wasn’t when I asked myself “what goals do I want” that my life changed, instead it was when I asked myself “who do I want to be”. This is something that I thought about right after my brother died but recently I got my hands on the book Atomic Habits and in there he helped me to understand what happened to me that day. I’d stopped looking at outcome-based solutions to change (as the author James Clear explained) and instead started looking at identity-based change. Instead of setting endless goals, I instead had to look at it as, “this is the person I want to be” so what must I believe about myself to “be” this type of person.
And then, my list of core values was born.I’m sharing here the steps I took to create this identity changed. These steps are simple but wow they have helped me shift and change truly into a more authentic, better version of myself. It is what has helped me to create a LASTING change in my life. And I think that’s what we all struggle with when it comes to life. We try to create change but it doesn’t stick because we’re working from an outcome-based idea instead of working from an identity-based outcome.

Are you tired of listening to your family tell you why something won’t work? Or maybe you’re exhausted from hearing their opinions on what you should do? We all have that special someone in our family that likes to control everyone and everything. Even if they’re well-intentioned, it can be tiring and frustrating to deal with their constant stream of comments. So how do we deal with it? What can we do to stop them from taking all our energy and possibly our enthusiasm? Boundaries. This is where it’s at. When I learned how to set boundaries with controlling family members my life and my self-esteem changed. I felt more empowered to make decisions for myself and stand my ground. So let’s get you empowered too with these simple ideas on how to set boundaries with controlling family members.Links Mentioned In This Episode
