Ever felt like the more you grow, the more disconnected you feel from people who used to be everything to you? Same. In this episode, I’m getting real about what it’s like to outgrow friendships, family dynamics, and entire versions of yourself — and why that doesn’t make you cold, fake, or a bad person.
I share my personal experience of getting sober, becoming a mom, and realizing that not everyone was meant to come with me into this next chapter — and that’s okay. Sometimes growth is quiet. Sometimes it hurts. But it’s always sacred.
We’ll talk through the signs you’ve outgrown someone, why we stay too long, how to reframe the guilt, and what it actually looks like to let go without burning bridges. This episode is full of raw truth, real healing, and the kind of reminders you didn’t know you needed.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re becoming someone new — but no one around you gets it — this one’s for you. 💥
