This episode looks at the stage where progress becomes harder to notice. You may still feel challenged, but things do not spiral in the same way, and because it feels less dramatic, you start wondering whether anything has changed.

We talk about how growth shows up later on, what to compare instead of your mood or motivation, and why “nothing happening” can actually be a sign that things are settling.

If you have felt unsure about whether you are still moving forward, this episode helps you see what is already different.
