The Battle Between Your Old Self and Your Next Level

from Put Yourself First · host Kat Horrocks

Have you ever felt like part of you is moving forward… while another part of you is trying to drag you backwards? That strange tension is one of the most common experiences during personal growth. You’re raising your standards.You’re stepping outside your comfort zone.You’re becoming the woman who actually goes after the life she wants. And suddenly old habits, doubts and patterns start creeping back in. In this episode, Kat talks about the push-pull between your old self and your next level and why this phase of growth is not something to panic about… it’s actually a powerful sign that change is happening. Because the moment you step into a new identity, your nervous system will often try to pull you back towards what feels familiar and safe. That doesn’t mean you’re failing.It means you’re evolving. Kat also shares a powerful mindset shift around ambition and why wanting more from life doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. In fact, your desire for more might be your greatest strength. In this episode we explore: Why your old self tries to pull you back when you start growing The push-pull that happens during an identity shift How to stop shaming yourself for old habits resurfacing Why your comfort zone can make growth feel uncomfortable The mindset shift that helps ambitious women stop settling Why wanting more from your career, relationship and life is not a flaw How compassion for your past self helps you actually move forward Mentioned in the episode Join The Sisterhood - https://www.khorrocks.com/sisterhood Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kat_horrocks/
