The Stages of Learning – From Overwhelm to Ownership - Episode 011

Episode Summary

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Jeanetta opens up about the raw realities of entrepreneurship, comparison, burnout, and the emotional toll of constantly trying to prove your worth—especially in the wellness and yoga space. She shares the Four Stages of Competence, a framework that has helped her navigate not only business but also personal growth and healing.

From the beginner's high of "not knowing what you don't know" to the frustrating space of conscious incompetence, Jeanetta uses real-life stories—like teaching yoga, running a business, or facing limiting beliefs—to help listeners recognize where they are and how to move forward with grace, clarity, and community.

What You’ll Learn

  • The Four Stages of Competence and how to identify where you are.

  • Why comparison is the thief of joy—and how to reclaim yours.

  • The difference between doing the work and just adding more.

  • How nervous system awareness plays a role in learning, fear, and growth.

  • Why community matters more than knowledge when you're evolving.

  • The importance of support at every stage of your learning or healing journey.

  • How to honor your story, even when it feels messy or incomplete.

Memorable Quotes

  • “We are not lacking knowledge—we are lacking community.”

  • “You’re not just learning a skill. You’re learning how to support your emotional self while doing something hard.”

  • “This stage may suck, but it means you're headed in the right direction.”
