The Messy Middle of Growth
from Peace & Pieces: An Unfiltered Curiosity Podcast · host Emem David
Nobody talks about how uncomfortable it is to outgrow your old life.In this episode, I'm sitting with the question: What are you grieving as you grow?We're talking about the friendships that drift, the habits you didn't know you'd miss, the version of yourself you had to leave behind, and what it actually feels like to be stuck somewhere between who you were and who you're becoming.This one's for anyone who's changing and feeling guilty about it. For anyone who doesn't fit in the same conversations anymore. For anyone standing in the messy middle wondering if they're doing it right.Spoiler: there is no "right." There's just becoming.In this episode:The quiet grief of outgrowing people you used to needWhy growth doesn't feel empowering—it feels disorientingWhat it's like when your family still sees the old version of youHow to grow and grieve at the same timeWhy the messy middle is lonely (and why that's okay)If you're in your messy middle right now, you're not alone. And if this resonates, I'd love to hear your version of it.📩 Email: [email protected]📱 Instagram: @peaceandpiecesoffical📱 TikTok: @_pnpofficial🎵 Music: Deliberate Thought by Kevin MacLeod
