When we think of growth we often think it means moving forward, moving on, and making moves. But what if I told you that growth can sometimes mean taking a step backwards or maybe to the side, to reevaluate what matters to you, and to find the environment you're going to thrive in? 

Someone great once said "some of the best moves you make in your life are lateral moves." I say someone because I actually do not know who said it I just know that it wasn't me who came up with this. 

I believe as a society we have engrained in our minds that moving forward is better, no matter what that forward move holds. We tend to look at others who aren't matching us as moving backwards or staying stagnant, but we can learn how to blossom in the unlikeliest of environments. 

Join us this week on the Growing Together podcast as we discuss lateral moves for growth and what that looks like in our lives and what it can look like in yours.
