The TOXIC Personal Development Industry: Harmonizing Personal Progress with Faith - Episode 424

She's Making an Impact | Christian Entrepreneur | Faith in Business | Family First Business

In this episode of the She's Making an Impact Podcast, I’m opening up about a topic that's been weighing on my heart – the toxic side of the personal development industry.

I’m sharing my own experiences and revelations, shedding light on the dangers of self-dependence and the pursuit of materialistic goals often promoted by this industry.

I share some emotional and personal stories in this one! Tune in for a discussion about a more faith-driven approach than the personal development world you may be used to.

• 0:00 - 1:55: The revelations God has given me and why this topic is important for us to talk about

• 1:56 - 4:30: Why the personal development industry can be a dangerous, slippery slope (plus a story about my Chanel purse that may surprise you)

• 4:31 - 10:06 : How the advice to “focus on how you want to feel and what you can do to get that desired feeling” isn’t actually serving us (plus a story that actually brings me to tears as I share it)

• 10:07 - 15:35: An impactful article I read about the dangers of self-dependence and the pursuit of materialistic goals (and how we can create goals in alignment with SERVING)

• 15:36 - 18:15: A list of other ways personal development is not leading us to fulfillment and to serving God (some of these are a bit controversial!)

• 18:16 - 18:39: Things to pray for (a list you can pull inspiration from)

• 18:40 - 19:55: Questions to ask yourself
