Our Story
ConsciousGrowth was founded in 2015 by Sarah Johnson and Michael Chen, two passionate educators who believed personal development should be accessible to everyone. What began as small weekend workshops in a community center has grown into a thriving global platform helping thousands transform their lives.
Our mission is to empower individuals through practical, science-backed personal growth strategies. We combine cutting-edge psychology with timeless wisdom to create transformative learning experiences that work in real life.
The vision that drives us is a world where personal growth isn't just for the privileged few, but accessible to all who seek it. We're committed to breaking down barriers through affordable pricing, scholarship programs, and content that speaks to diverse life experiences.
Our Philosophy
Holistic Approach
We believe true growth happens when all aspects of life are addressed - not just career or finances, but relationships, health, spirituality, and personal fulfillment. Our programs integrate these dimensions for lasting change.
Unlike traditional self-help that focuses on quick fixes, we emphasize sustainable habits and mindset shifts that compound over time to create profound transformation.
Evidence-Based Methods
Every technique we teach is grounded in scientific research from psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics. We rigorously test our methods and continuously update our content based on new findings.
Our curriculum development team includes licensed therapists, behavioral scientists, and experienced coaches who ensure our content is both practical and psychologically sound.
