Ever notice how you can have a crystal-clear idea of the person you want to become…and still find yourself stuck in the same old patterns, starring in the same tired sequel nobody asked for? Same. Welcome to being human.
In this episode of Typology, I sit down with Dr. Henry Cloud, clinical psychologist, leadership expert, and New York Times bestselling author of Boundaries, for a rich conversation about what it actually takes to move from where we are to where we long to be. Henry’s new book, Your Desired Future: The Five Essential Steps That Take You Where You Want to Go, gives us a practical, psychologically grounded roadmap for change—not the sort of vague “manifest your dreams” thing you see embroidered on throw pillows, but a real framework for transformation in leadership, relationships, personal growth, and emotional health.
Together, we explore why so many of us remain tethered to limiting patterns, even when we sincerely want to change. Henry helps us understand that growth doesn’t happen by accident. It requires vision, the right resources, a clear strategy, honest measurement, accountability, and the ability to adapt when life inevitably throws a folding chair into the ring.
Whether you’re trying to rebuild a relationship, lead a team, make a major life change, or simply become more faithful to the person God created you to be, this conversation offers a steady hand for the journey.
If you’re ready to stop drifting and begin moving with greater clarity, courage, and intention toward your desired future, this episode is for you.
