Show Notes

Have you ever looked around a space you once felt comfortable in and realized, I don’t fit here anymore?

Not because you think you’re better than anyone. Not because something terrible happened. You’ve simply grown—and sometimes growth changes what you can comfortably remain connected to.

In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when staying requires you to shrink, stay quiet, lower your expectations, or become a version of yourself you no longer recognize.

But I’m also asking an important question: Have you truly outgrown the room, or are you simply uncomfortable because the room is challenging you to grow?

There’s a difference.

Sometimes growth means leaving. Sometimes it means staying and stretching. And sometimes it means quietly preparing for what’s next.

You don’t have to make the room the villain to recognize that it no longer fits.
