S1E1 Navigating Your Stages of Change: A Path to Transformation

The Power of Self Hour with Venita

Welcome to The Power of Self Hour with Venita! I'm Venita Qualls, a licensed mental health counselor, licensed addiction counselor, and the founder of Soulful Essentials. I created this space to help you reclaim your voice, rebuild your confidence, and walk into your power of self.

In today’s episode, we dive deep into the Stages of Change—a powerful roadmap for personal transformation. Whether you're contemplating a change, preparing for one, or actively taking steps, understanding where you are in your journey can help you move forward with clarity.

I’ll be sharing insights on each stage:

• Pre-contemplation: Recognizing the problem, but not yet acknowledging it
• Contemplation: Knowing change is needed but feeling uncertain
• Preparation: Getting ready to make a change
• Action: Taking steps to change your life
• Maintenance: Keeping the change alive
• Relapse: Returning to old habits, but knowing how to get back on track

In my years of counseling, I've worked with individuals at every stage of change, and I’m excited to share how you can use this framework to break free from limiting beliefs, get unstuck, and step into your true potential.

I challenge you today to reflect on your own stages of change. Where are you? What action can you take to move forward? The power to change is in your hands, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Tune in now to The Power of Self Hour, and let’s explore how the stages of change can help you navigate your journey of transformation. So whether you’re tuning in for encouragement, expert advice, or stories that resonate with your own—know this: you belong here.

Let’s grow, heal, and rise together. One hour at a time.
