Growth pokes the old bruise

In this episode, I'm talking about the part of growth nobody glamorises online. Not the breakthroughs. Not the wins. The bruise pokes. The moments where stretching into something new lights up the oldest, rawest stories you thought you'd already healed. In this episode I discuss: Why growth often reactivates old abandonment and rejection wounds. How your body confuses present-day expansion with past danger. Why tenderness doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. The myth of "if I were confident enough, this wouldn't bother me." How to meet the bruise without shrinking, spiralling, or fixing. Simple ways to soothe the younger parts of you that panic when things get bigger. This is a grounded, real conversation about the messy emotional underbelly of transformation. If you've ever wondered why getting what you want can still feel wobbly, raw, or "too much," this one's for you.  Come tell me in The Done Era where is growth poking your old bruise right now?
