Ep. 82 How Long Does Change Take?

In this episode, Bree Johnson explores the complexities of change, particularly in the context of personal growth and self-care. She addresses the common question of how long change takes, emphasizing that significant transformations require time and commitment.

Through analogies like the dirt road versus the superhighway, she illustrates the challenges of building new habits and the iterative nature of transformation. Ultimately, Bree encourages listeners to embrace the journey of change, recognizing that it is an ongoing process rather than a destination.
