What if growth isn’t about being “there” — but realizing you’re further than you were?
In this episode of Figuring It Out with Rachel Lee, I talk about the kind of healing and personal growth that happens quietly — the internal shifts that change how you think, choose, and show up, long before life looks different on the outside.
I share my own experiences with unlearning conditional worth, navigating grief and survival mode, rebuilding self-trust, and recognizing progress that doesn’t always come with visible milestones. We explore the myth of arrival, how belief systems around body image and money shape our lives, and why regulation, awareness, and small daily choices matter more than perfection.
This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re still “figuring it out” — but knows deep down they’re not who they used to be.
If you’ve ever wondered:
“Why doesn’t my growth look obvious yet?”
“Am I actually making progress?”
“How do I trust myself again?”
“What does healing really look like in real life?”
This conversation is for you.
