9. Unexpected things I don’t do as a personal development girlie
Feeling overwhelmed by personal development advice? In this episode of Voice Notes from Samio I’m sharing 7 unexpected things I don’t do as a personal development girlie — from not reading self-help books to skipping meditation and ignoring hustle culture gurus. While the personal growth space can make us feel like we always need to be doing more, I’m here to remind you that your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
This is my honest take on self-help, as someone who values self-trust over prescriptive advice. I share my personal experiences, why these typical "must-dos" never resonated with me, and how you can adapt these ideas to suit your life — no toxic positivity or constant striving required. Growth gets to feel grounded, intuitive, and personal.

05:52 - Take advice from gurus
09:22 - Meditate
13:55 - Only mingle with people of the same mindset

19:20 - Don’t think I’m better than anyone
22:54 - Feel that I need to constantly work on myself
25:07 - I don’t take other people’s advice over my own knowing
