#47 - When Self Improvement Becomes Avoidance

https://kynesis.ie/being In this episode, I explore the subtle line between genuine growth and using self-development as another way to avoid discomfort, uncertainty and ourselves.

There is something about me that needs to be fixed before I can finally feel okay. This isn't about giving up ambition or growth. It's about questioning where that movement is coming from.
