If Phaedra Parks wants to improve and transform herself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding her back and preventing her evolution. Her defensive attitudes, her fear of being dispossessed, her ambivalence, her radicalism, and her over-reliance on her instincts may be holding her back.

You sometimes sense a conflict between your desire for social and professional success and your need for a stable, secure domestic life. You are deeply committed to both ideas and do not always succeed in reconciling their schedules and demands on you. Sometimes it feels as though you will never be able to find a balance. However, no job promotion will really satisfy you if you have neglected your most intimate needs and desires. Although it sometimes seems easier to you to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if you merely sacrifice your domestic life, you are only trying to fool yourself. You should accept the fact that your domestic life is the true basis and foundation of your development. All your career endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they are supported by a safe, warm personal life.

Phaedra Parks looks at the world around her and sees that it is filled with people who have beliefs and values that differ from her own. Although she trusts her own ability to make money, Phaedra is aware that she can make mistakes in her investments. Because she is so focused on her own individual habits and routines, Phaedra may not be as effective when it comes to learning from others.

Phaedra Parks may become aware of a need to change her direction in life. This turning point in her attitude may occur as she reaches the age of 30. In the first part of her life, she will have undergone a period of evolution and ripening, which is a vital part of the process of change characterized by a fairly constant inner awareness and reexamination of her inner feeling of insecurity. To prepare herself for the influx of new energy and free herself from negative attitudes, she must confront as consciously as possible the challenges related to her lack of inner structure or her need for an identity. This psychological work could lead to a total reorganization of her life under the best possible conditions.
