Personal growth is beautiful — until it’s not. In this episode, Andrew and Cat talk about the hidden fatigue that comes with healing, self-development, and “always improving.” They unpack why the messy middle is normal, why growth never really ends, and how to rest without guilt.
1️⃣ Redefine success. There’s no “finish line” to personal growth. It’s a lifelong practice.
2️⃣ Accept regression as recalibration. Two steps forward, one pizza back (as Andrew says). It’s all part of the process.
3️⃣ Track what you did, not what you missed. Cat’s “reverse to-do list” builds perspective and gratitude.
4️⃣ Beware the comparison trap. Everyone has a different deck of cards — focus on your own hand.
5️⃣ Switch it up. If your routines feel heavy, try a new form of movement, journaling, or rest.
6️⃣ Recognize seasons. Some months are for pushing forward; others are for digesting what you’ve learned.
“You’re chasing a sunset you’ll never catch — so pause, turn around, and notice how far you’ve come.”
“Rest is not the reward for growth; it’s the requirement.”
“Even growth needs recovery days.”
