When You're Growing and the People Around You Aren't
from More Women Promoted
You're growing and feeling distance from the people around you - friends, your partner, your family. The advice online says cut them off. The real answer is more nuanced. Join me on June 23rd for my Visibility & Recognition Workshop morewomenpromoted.com/workshop. Have you been told to "level up and leave them behind"? Or to "find your tribe" and let the rest go? That advice is everywhere online, and it's a little too black-and-white for me. I share the three truths to hold at once when you're changing faster than the people you love.Here's the truth most growth content gets wrong: when you're growing faster than the people around you, the answer isn't "cut them off" or "pretend nothing has changed." It's three things at once, and they're easier to hold than you'd think.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy expecting one person (especially your partner) to serve every purpose in your life is the recipe for resentment nobody warns you aboutThe reframe that turns frustration with your partner's lack of growth into deep gratitude (and how this changed how I think about my marriage)Why the friendships with the deepest roots are worth protecting even when they can't relate to every part of your current lifeHow to know when a friendship is actually pulling you backward (and the Mel Robbins quote that gave me permission to let one go)Where to actively find women on the same growth path as you, and why proximity is the keyRESOURCES MENTIONEDConnect with Katy on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/katy-mcfee-3880b4aWeekly newsletter: morewomenpromoted.com/newsletterCurious what it’s like to work together?
