Ep 138: Ditch the Shell

Have you ever outgrown a version of yourself— and gotten stuck in that awkward liminal space between one identity and another? In this episode of the Bloom Your Mind Podcast, I’m taking you on a wild ride that starts with a free-range hermit crab named Hermie (yes, really) and ends with a three step reflection to help you identify where you are in your identity shift. We’ll explore what it feels like to be in the awkward, raw, beautiful space between who you were and who you’re becoming—and how to navigate it with more self-compassion and clarity. What you’ll learn in this episode: How we’re always making ideas real, but articulating them puts us in the driver’s seat of how we’re growing How self concept is the container for our current ways of thinking, feeling, acting and being The three awkward (and magical) stages of leveling up your self concept How a 90’s housepet trend can give us answers from the natural world Why the strategies that got you here won’t get you there How to work with old versions of yourself instead of pushing them away A guided reflection to help you identify your next self concept leap Whether you're launching a business, changing relationship dynamics, healing old patterns, or just leveling up, this episode normalizes the discomfort of growth—and will help you move forward as the change maker that you are.
