If you can see the life you're meant for so clearly that it actually hurts not to be living it yet, this episode is for you. I'm unpacking why the moment right before expansion often feels like something is wrong—not because you're failing, but because your Inner Critic reads your bigness as dangerous and tries to pull you back into who you used to be.
We'll explore why your depth, sensitivity, and hunger for meaning were never flaws, how your nervous system signals when you've outgrown an old identity, and what it really takes to let your Authentic Self lead when the familiar no longer fits.
✨ Tune in to learn how to stop mistaking discomfort for dysfunction, release the identities you've already outgrown, and step into the life that's been calling you with clarity, self-trust, and grounded courage—one embodied choice at a time.
Your weekly reflection questions:
What parts of myself has my Inner Critic labeled as "too much" or "dangerous" that might actually be the clearest signs of who I'm meant to become?
Where in my body do I feel the tension, restlessness, or grief that signals I'm living at the edge of an old identity rather than fully inhabiting my next one?
If I stopped waiting for permission or readiness and let my Authentic Self lead this week, what brave action would I take toward the life I can already feel calling me?
