Redefining Success, Identity, and Growth

Ready for real talk, relatable reflections, and radical self-discovery?

We all say we want change, so why do we keep repeating the same tired patterns?

In this episode of A Joyful Rebellion, James and Kristan Swan unpack the uncomfortable truths of personal growth, identity, and the courage it takes to finally get unstuck.

If you’ve ever felt like your true self got lost under the heavy hats of parenting, caregiving, or your career, this conversation is your catalyst. Kristan shares powerful, practical tools—from purposeful journaling prompts to deep spiritual autobiography work—to help you peel back those external roles and redefine success for this specific stage of your life.

Tune in to trade the familiar trap of staying stuck for soul-deep clarity, and start creating the change you’ve been craving.
