The Shadow Side of Reinvention

from Reinvention By Design Podcast · host Jenny Cotten

Hello Beautiful Soul,I recorded this episode from inside the messy middle - well just on the other side of the messy middle to be exact. Not from the polished side where the lesson is already wrapped up in a bow. But from that raw place where everything familiar is falling away… and what’s next hasn’t fully taken shape but I’m trusting that it will.If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite recognize yourself anymore, like the things you used to tolerate now make your skin crawl, but you don’t yet have the energy or clarity to step into something new, you’re not alone.This space is real. It’s disorienting. It’s tender.And it’s where I’ve been living lately. In this episode, I open up about:* How my own shadow frequencies have shown up in this season — the pushing, the proving, the perfectionism* The moment I realized I was abandoning my truth to meet old expectations* What I’ve been doing to navigate it without spiraling (spoiler: it doesn’t involve fixing anything)We talk a lot in the personal growth space about becoming “her” — but no one talks about how murky and unsexy it feels when you’re not her yet… and you’re not who you were either.This is that conversation.From the episode:“You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re becoming.”If this resonates, and you’re in your own messy middle, I’d love to hold space for you.Grab a spot for a free Reinvention Fast Pass™ — a short, sacred call where we reconnect you to your design and get clear on your next step.👉 Book a free Reinvention Fast Pass HereYou don’t have to become her alone.And you don’t have to rush it either.With love,JennyP.S.
