Why Progress Feels So Messy

In this video, I'll explore why our personal growth journeys feel so messy and non-linear. Drawing from my own experiences with setbacks in work, fitness, and emotional healing, I'll explain how progress actually resembles a stock chart - full of unpredictable dips and rises—rather than the steady upward line we expect. I'll introduce the concept of "rupture" as a signal for necessary system evolution, not failure, and share how I shifted from pursuing perfect habits to creating systems that accommodate my biological reality. By the end, viewers will understand that their struggles aren't personal shortcomings but system design flaws, and I'll offer a path toward building sustainable growth frameworks that embrace imperfection.
