Hosts: Andrew Dewar & Catherine Collins

In this powerful starter episode, we strip self-improvement down to its roots: small, gentle changes. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin your growth journey, this one's for you.

You don’t need a 5 a.m. cold plunge or a 90-minute gym routine to change your life.

You just need a first step — and this is it.

💬 What You'll Learn:

• Why basic needs are your foundation for lasting change
• How subtracting (not just adding) creates transformation
• The “5 Year You” vision exercise that makes personal growth clear and motivating
• Simple ways to regulate your emotions and improve mental clarity
• What a bedtime routine for adults can teach you about self-worth
