17. Beyond The Finish Line - Celebrating The Journey Of Growth

In this heartfelt episode of the THRIVE Podcast, Jan shares a personal reflection on growth, fulfillment, and the quiet victories we often overlook.

Using the experience of running his second marathon as a metaphor, Jan explores a powerful tension many of us face:
👉 How can we strive to become better while also accepting who we are right now?

He unpacks how setting goals can become a tool for inner transformation rather than just external achievement, and why fulfillment comes not from the finish line, but from who we become along the way.

You’ll hear about:

• The shift from result-focused to process-driven growth

• How consistent action builds confidence and identity

• Why needing less validation can lead to deeper self-worth

• The liberation of enjoying the journey, even when it’s hard

Whether you’re aiming for a big milestone or just trying to show up a bit more for yourself, this episode invites you to redefine success, find peace in progress, and celebrate the person you’re becoming.

🎙️ Tune in and join Jan in creating a more compassionate, grounded, and fulfilling path forward.
