The Slow Burn of Becoming: Navigating Growth That Doesn’t Look Like Progress

Hey, it’s Katie! In this episode of Custom Built, I’m talking all about change—how it can show up suddenly, flip your life upside down in a moment, or feel like it’s dragging its feet when you’re desperately ready for something to shift. This conversation was sparked during my network spinal entrainment (shout out to Ivy Chiropractic Studio!), where I had this moment of clarity: so much in my life has changed… and yet somehow, it feels like nothing has. From personal growth to emotional boundaries, the shifts I’ve experienced in just a few months are massive—but when it comes to business and purpose, the pace feels so much slower. Sound familiar?

I get into why I believe change happens when we’re actually ready for it—not just when we want it. Sometimes we’re being tested. Sometimes we’re being prepared. And sometimes, we’re just not meant to force it. Whether you’re in the thick of it or waiting for your moment, this is your reminder to stay open, stay aware, and stop letting fear dictate your next move. Because the biggest, boldest changes usually come right after the scariest decisions. Let’s build something beautiful—even if the timing’s not what we expected.
