Morphology
The meaning 'the process of improving character, self-knowledge, or abilities' is directly derivable from combining 'personal' (relating to the person) with 'growth' (process of development). This simple compositional noun phrase follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Personal growth creates the image of a small plant you care for: personal is you and growth is getting bigger. If you water and give time and effort, the plant slowly grows, so the phrase means 'improving yourself' over time.
