What if slipping doesn’t mean you’re failing—but that you’re practicing the most important part of change?

In our next episode of Transformative Paths, we explore why real growth isn’t built on intensity, discipline, or perfect consistency. Instead, sustainable change comes from learning how to return—to your breath, your values, and the person you’re becoming—without shame.

This conversation invites a trauma-informed, human approach to transformation, unpacking why change feels hard, how identity shapes behavior, and what helps growth stick over time. Through reflection and practical grounding, this episode reframes progress as practice and resilience as the ability to keep showing up.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why can’t I just keep going?”—this episode offers a different answer.

Because you’re not failing. You’re practicing.

What happens after you reach the goal?

In this episode of Transformative Paths, Wanda Jean Carroll is joined by lifelong cyclist and leader Jeff to explore what lies beyond achievement — and why real transformation begins after the milestone. Together, they unpack the myth that reaching a goal means the work is done and examine how lasting change happens when habits become identity and growth becomes a way of living.

Drawing from cycling, endurance challenges, business leadership, and personal discipline, this conversation explores:

• Why achievement alone rarely creates lasting change

• How complacency quietly undermines progress

• The difference between chasing goals and becoming someone new

• What it means to live with a “no finish line” mindset

This episode is for anyone who’s hit a goal and wondered, Is this it? Because transformation doesn’t end at the finish line — it starts there.
