As we do the deep work of personal growth, we often talk about the “end goal” but rarely discuss the messy middle: the iteration phase. When you begin to heal, you stop being the person everyone is used to. You start setting boundaries, changing your tone, and showing up differently.

The truth is, your evolution might make other people uncomfortable. And sometimes, that discomfort makes you want to shrink back into the old version of yourself just to keep the peace.

In today’s episode, we explore the challenge of becoming someone new and the friction that comes with it. We discuss the ultimate goal of healing: consistency. Are you the same person in every room you walk into, or are you still shapeshifting to fit your environment?

In this episode, we dive into:

• The Identity Crisis of Healing: Why we (and others) resist the new versions of ourselves.
• The Consistency Goal: How to show up as your authentic self regardless of the environment or who is in the room.
• Managing Your Circle: Recognizing who embraces your growth and learning when to “pause” or let go of relationships that require you to stay small.
• The Grief of Growth: Why it’s okay to mourn the old version of you while getting excited about the person you are becoming.
• Awareness vs. Fixing: Why you don’t need to “fix” your fear of change—you just need to hold space for it.

Healing isn’t just about getting “better”; it’s about having the courage to let the old you go, so the true you can finally breathe.
