Spring has a way of revealing what was quietly preparing all along.

In this reflective Monday Mindset episode of Warrior Forward, Kim explores the powerful metaphor of seasonal change—and what it teaches us about the phases of growth in our own lives. For many high-achieving women, seasons of questioning, slowing down, or reevaluating identity can feel like failure. When momentum fades and certainty disappears, it's easy to assume something is wrong.

But what if nothing is wrong at all?

What if you're simply in winter—a season that looks still on the surface but is full of invisible transformation underneath.

Kim unpacks why our culture only celebrates visible success—promotion seasons, expansion seasons, achievement seasons—while quietly dismissing the equally important seasons of recalibration and identity change. She shares personal reflections about the uncomfortable questions that arise during these quieter phases of life and why the most meaningful growth rarely happens in the spotlight.

This episode is an invitation to rethink what "progress" actually looks like. Because before anything blooms, something has to strengthen beneath the surface.

And when spring finally arrives, the goal isn't to rush the next chapter—it's to notice what is beginning to emerge.

In This Episode, Kim Talks About:

Why feeling "stuck" may actually be a normal season of growth
The hidden work that happens during life's quieter chapters
Why high-achieving women often panic during seasons of uncertainty
The difference between growth driven by pressure and growth driven by clarity
How to recognize when a new season of expansion is beginning

If you've been questioning your direction, reevaluating old identities, or feeling like your momentum has disappeared, this episode offers a powerful reframe: nothing died—something new has been forming underground.

Your job isn't to rush the bloom.

Your job is to notice what wants to grow next.
