Growth isn’t always about adding more. Sometimes, it’s about letting go.
In this unapologetically bold episode of Success Unscripted, I’m asking the question most people are too afraid to face: What part of you has to die in order for you to thrive?
The habits, mindsets, relationships, and identities that got you here won’t get you to the next level. That comfort zone you’ve been clinging to? It’s costing you more than you think.
I’m breaking down:
- Why success requires shedding old versions of yourself—even when it hurts
- The link between high standards and low anxiety (yes, you read that right)
- Why mourning the person you used to be is part of the process—and a sign you’re on the right track
This isn’t just a motivational pep talk. It’s the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. Because thriving isn’t about who you’ve been—it’s about who you’re willing to become.
Hit play now and let’s get real about what needs to go so you can grow.
