Step 10 | Growth: When Spiraling is Good
Host and clinical psychologist Nina Polyné, PsyD, kicks week four off with a bang…or should we say with a twist? Dr. Polyné, and guests, help us reflect on our first three weeks of changes by turning the idea of growth on its head—healthy growth is actually not as linear as we’re often taught. In fact, it’s shaped more like a tornado. Find out why that’s a good thing in episode 10.

Alo Johnston, LMFT, continues week three with an honest check-in on our current goals’ alignment with our values.
