Intentional Living and Personal Development
Prioritizing personal development is a staple of an intentional life, yet listeners overwhelmingly report that they have neither the time nor the energy to pursue good habits.
The result? We tend to focus on our personal development only when a problem occurs. But by then, it’s too late to proactively make a change.
Today I speak with Calum McGuigan. After experiencing a panic attack while driving with his child in the backseat, Calum made a life change, then another; next, he embarked on a journey toward improving all facets of his life. Fast forward a few years: Calum left his job to create Shape & Foster, a personal development app that helps you proactively address your finances, fitness, life goals, nutrition, and more.
Calum and I discuss why sticking with your own personal development is the epitome of intentional living; he offers practical tips backed by research so you can foster good habits for the long haul, too.
