Your brain equates the familiar with safe. Even when the familiar is burnout, overwork, and being everyone's go-to person. Even when the familiar means putting yourself last.
That's why when you finally take that vacation, set that boundary, or step into a bigger role, something unexpected happens. Instead of feeling powerful, you feel guilty. Instead of feeling free, you feel like you're doing something wrong. But real empowerment doesn't arrive with fanfare and instant confidence. It shows up as discomfort, as your old identity fights to pull you back.
Tune in this week as I break down why empowerment feels wrong before it feels right, and how to navigate the messy middle between who you were and who you're becoming.
