Growth isn’t just about changing yourself—it’s about changing the way you engage with the world around you. And as you evolve, it’s natural to find that some relationships no longer align with where you’re headed. This isn’t a sign that something is wrong; it’s proof that you’re making real progress. While it can be difficult to navigate the tension, grief, or even resistance from others, staying true to your growth is the most important commitment you can make to yourself.
In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the hardest but least talked-about side effects of personal growth: outgrowing relationships. We’ll explore why this happens, how to navigate the discomfort, and what to do when you realize that some people in your life may not be able to grow with you.
Three Key Takeaways:
1️. Personal growth naturally shifts how you relate to others, and not everyone will grow with you.
2️. The tension you feel in certain relationships isn’t a sign that you’re doing something wrong—it’s a sign that you’re evolving.
3️. You don’t have to force change in others or explain your growth—staying true to yourself is enough.
Growth doesn’t just change you—
it changes what you allow,
what you tolerate,
and what you need
from the people
around you.
