343. One of the Toughest Parts of Growth Nobody Warns Us About

Sometimes, personal growth and transformation can accelerate so fast, it can surprise and overwhelm. So much so, we can lose faith in our ability to even keep up. Nobody warns us about that part of personal development.   Here's the thing: with growth comes anger, grief, frustration, uncertainty and fear. Not to mention, constantly reintroducing yourself - to both others and yourself - is exhausting. But every big dream comes with big resistance. So how do we overcome the resistance and find the confidence to keep going? Let's dive in. In this episode, we're talking about: Why personal growth feels uncomfortable and overwhelming How to trust yourself and not lose faith Why personal growth requires letting go of people and things How to feel confident making life-changing decisions How to let go of relationships without fear Why people pleasing can hold us back  How to avoid complacency and self-abandonment      "I am discovering who I am beyond who I have been" -Morgan Harper Nichols If you've felt the resistance and discomfort of growth, you're in exactly the right place.
