About Steven Mareels – Real Growth, No Fluff

I am Steven Mareels, founder of Personal Power-Ups and personal development geek.

My growth journey started with a year-long self-improvement program that opened my eyes to dozens of powerful, practical ideas. I dove deep into books, tools, and strategies – anything that could help me become a better version of myself.

But along the way, I noticed a problem: a lot of self-help content felt vague, fluffy, or just plain unrealistic. I wanted strategies I could actually apply, not just motivational quotes and empty promises.

As I applied what did work, I saw real change. I overcame challenges I’d struggled with for years. And soon, I noticed something else: the people around me were facing many of the same struggles. So I started sharing what helped me. I offered support, tools, and perspective. And it worked.

That’s when the idea for Personal Power-Ups clicked:
Why not cut through the fluff and share practical content that actually helps people grow?

Fast forward to today, this site is my way of helping others move forward with clear, actionable, no-fluff content. Everything here is designed to be useful, grounded, and results-focused.

I hope these power-ups help you solve real problems, build better habits, and create a life that feels truly yours.
