In the world of self-help, “improvement” is often the default prescription.
Do more. Be better. Fix yourself.
But self-improvement can quickly turn into just another way for us to beat ourselves up.
In other words, it becomes another way we tell ourselves we’re not good enough.
I’ve worked with top executives, industry leaders, even billionaires—people who “won the game.”
They did all the right things. They meditated, journaled, optimized.
And yet, they still felt off.
Why?
Because they weren’t in touch with themselves.
They built lives that looked successful, but didn’t feel like home.
That's the difference between self-discovery and self-improvement.
Self-discovery is a different path entirely.
It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about finding yourself.
It asks:
What brings you alive?
What do you naturally love?
What are the rhythms, values, and desires that are authentically yours?
It’s not about becoming better.
It’s about becoming you.
