Sometimes the most important things to change are the ones you can’t see yet.
In this episode of Notes for an Awesome Life, John Spence and Josh Wilson dive into one of the hardest challenges in personal growth: recognizing the patterns, habits, and assumptions that quietly shape our decisions without us noticing. They explore why self-reflection is so rare, why repeating the same outcomes might reveal more about you than your circumstances, and how separating your identity from your behaviors can make real change possible.
If you’ve ever wondered why certain problems keep showing up in your life or how to develop the kind of self-awareness that great leaders possess, this conversation offers practical tools and honest insight to help you start looking in the right places.
