Ep. 67 ~ They Wanted You to Stay Small: Why Your Growth Makes Others Uncomfortable

from Journey To Self-Love · host Sharon D. Meadows

What happens when your growth makes the people closest to you uncomfortable?We expect our close family and friends to celebrate us as we heal, grow, and become more of who we're meant to be. But sometimes, the people we love begin comparing their journey to ours—and suddenly, our growth changes the relationship.In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about the guilt that can come with growing, the relationships that shift when you change, and what happens when you begin making yourself smaller to protect someone else's comfort level.Your growth is not an attack on anyone else. And you should never have to abandon who you're becoming just to remain connected to who you used to be.You can love people where they are without losing yourself trying to stay there with them.🎙️Listen NowConnect with Sharon D.
