Episode 8 — When the Shoes No Longer Fit

from Still Becoming™ · host Catherine Okonkwo

Sometimes life doesn’t hurt because we’ve lost something — it hurts because we’ve outgrown it. In this episode of Still Becoming™, I share a story about a boy clinging to his favorite pair of shoes until his mother gently reminds him: the pain isn’t about the shoes, it’s about his growth.We, too, face moments when relationships, roles, or seasons no longer fit, even if they once felt perfect. It’s not a loss, but an invitation to step into a bigger version of ourselves.Join me as we reflect on the courage it takes to release what we’ve outgrown, the tenderness of moving forward, and the beauty of becoming who we are meant to be.

Though I’m in my early 20s, the history of relational trauma in my family lineage coupled with my own father’s abuse and abandonment, has instilled in me a self-awareness and sensitivity to emotions from a young age. I was born in México and raised in Compton, a community where I didn’t have many mentors or influences that pointed me in the direction of emotional healing work. Still, I went on to publish The Energized Self: A Journey to Interconnected Healing, a book that is half memoir and half conversations with trauma survivors at the age of 22. This same year I began my public speaking journey and my master’s program to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.As I find myself rising to fulfill my soul’s calling today, I am still in the same location where conversations like the ones had in this podcast aren’t common. I’m also faced with a myriad of economic and social challenges that I know listeners will relate to. My goal is that
