Hey friend, welcome back to the Anchored with Purpose Podcast! In this episode, we’re wrapping up the Anchored in Every Area series by diving into one of the most transformative life anchors: personal development. Here’s the truth—if you’re not intentionally growing, you’re unintentionally drifting. And as women of faith, wives, moms, and dreamers, we were created for so much more than drifting. Personal growth isn’t just a nice idea; it’s stewardship of the mind, body, skills, and spirit God has entrusted to us. In this episode, I’ll share 10 practical and realistic ways to invest in your personal growth—whether you have a budget for it or not. You’ll discover simple, doable steps to keep learning, stay motivated, and grow closer to who God is calling you to be. We’ll cover strategies like: Daily reading and listening habits to feed your mind with wisdom instead of endless scrolling. Conferences, workshops, and online courses that inspire and sharpen your skills. Masterminds, mentors, and accountability partners to give you encouragement and challenge. Skill stacking, serving, and scheduling growth time to stretch yourself and multiply your impact. Reflection and application—because growth isn’t about information, but transformation. You’ll also hear encouragement from Scripture, including Luke 2:52, Romans 12:2, Proverbs 15:22, and Philippians 1:6—reminders that God calls us to keep growing and promises to complete the good work He began in us. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like your big dreams are slipping away, this episode will give you the tools and motivation to move forward. 🎧 Tune in and choose just ONE strategy to commit to over the next 30 days. Let’s stop drifting and start growing—on purpose.
