In this episode of Brave Moves, I talk about what often comes after self-awareness and why clarity doesn’t always feel empowering at first.
When we slow down enough to really see ourselves, our patterns, habits, and blind spots, it can bring up resistance, defensiveness, and emotional reactions we weren’t expecting. In this episode, I normalize those responses and explain why discomfort after self-reflection is not a sign that something is wrong, but a sign that something meaningful is happening.
I explore how awareness challenges identity, why our nervous system often reacts when familiar stories about ourselves are questioned, and why rushing to fix or change things too quickly can actually work against sustainable growth.
