What if your quest for self-improvement is actually a form of self-rejection? In today's episode, I explore how perfectionism, shame, and hustle culture can sneak into your personal growth journey.    I break down how self-improvement can become a weapon used against yourself, from confusing productivity with self-worth to using self-awareness as evidence that you're still not doing enough. These patterns keep you stuck in cycles of never feeling good enough. This episode will help you recognise when your goals and growth are driven by self-rejection rather than self-respect, and how to shift into making choices from a place of already being enough.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/232

What could your life look like in a year if you chose to live by design instead of by default? In this episode, I invite you to reflect on how your choices today shape the person you'll become. It's not about setting goals or resolutions, but about stepping into a version of yourself that feels almost unrecognisable — in the best way.   Living by design requires intentional choices, commitment, and the willingness to push through discomfort. Whether in personal growth, relationships, or work, the key is to take consistent action, even when conditions don't feel perfect. A year can bring profound transformation when you commit to the journey.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/231

Are you counting yourself out even before someone else does? The systems we live in frequently work to limit our potential, but too often we do their work for them by counting ourselves out before anyone else has the chance.    I explore the ways we pre-reject ourselves, both in obvious ways like not applying for opportunities, and in sneakier forms that masquerade as being practical or realistic. By recognising these patterns, we can begin making different choices and stop doing the system's work of limiting ourselves.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/230

Ready to go behind the scenes of the biggest business decisions I've made over the last five years?

Do you ever find yourself holding back when you invest in training because you're worried about wasting time or money? That fear can quietly limit how much you get from any experience. In this episode, I explore how approaching investments as a relationship rather than a transaction opens up space for real growth and transformation.   I share how I think about every investment I make—from low-ticket to five-figure training—not by the price tag but by the intention and presence I bring. This shift moves you out of measuring how much you consume and into how fully you engage. Showing up as a co-creator shapes the transformation you receive and the impact you make.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/228

Do you feel like you're doing all the right things to improve your life, but the changes just don't seem to stick? In this episode, I'm sharing why identity work is the missing piece when it comes to uplevelling and making lasting progress.   I'll walk you through my five-step process for closing the identity gap: the space between who you've been by default and who you're ready to be by design. The questions I share will help you uncover what's really going on beneath the surface and how to create a self-concept that supports the life you're building.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/227

Have you ever felt the urge to walk away when things get challenging? Last week, I explored the power of leaving. This week, I'm examining the flip side – the profound power that comes from choosing to stay. Not staying stuck or silent, but staying with yourself, with discomfort, with truth, and with the things and people you've chosen.   The decision to stay isn't automatically noble, just as leaving isn't automatically selfish. The key is understanding why you're staying and whether it's costing you your truth or revealing it. When staying is a powerful choice, it's because you're staying for you. Not for approval, not because it's easier, and certainly not because it's what others expect. Staying can be radical when it's rooted in self-trust rather than self-sacrifice, and it can be the move that changes everything.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/225

Have you ever noticed how we celebrate beginnings but whisper about endings? I've been thinking about this a lot lately—how the most transformative moments in my life didn't start with arrivals but with exits. The courage to walk away from something that no longer fits can be the most powerful decision you ever make.   In this episode, you'll hear why staying in something you've outgrown is a slow way to disappear, while leaving can be the ultimate act of self-respect. Not just walking away from what isn't working, but walking toward what's next. I invite you to consider where you might be staying put in your life when, deep down, you know it's time to leave.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/224

Have you ever made a brilliant plan, felt completely aligned with it, and then... just ghosted on it? We've all been there. That moment when our initial enthusiasm fades and we find ourselves making excuses, avoiding the work, or conveniently "forgetting" about our commitments.   What if I told you that in these moments, you're actually selling yourself on something - either why the plan is worth it or why it isn't? This realization changed everything for me. Selling isn't just something we do in business; it's something we do internally all the time. When you learn how to sell yourself on purpose, it transforms your ability to follow through and create what you want. And in this week's episode, I show you how.   Find the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/223  

Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns despite your best intentions to change? The answer isn't that you're lazy or lack discipline—you have a self-concept problem.   In this episode, I'm diving deep into why your self-concept matters so much and how to intentionally update it. We'll explore how to recognize when your self-concept is outdated, how to build a more accurate one that serves you, and why this isn't about becoming someone else—it's about becoming more fully you. This isn't optional work; it's foundational to creating the life you want.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/222
